Abstract
Outcomes from conventional thrice-weekly hemodialysis (CHD) are disappointing for a lifesaving therapy. The results of the HEMO Study show that the recommended minimum dose (Kt/V) for adequacy is also the optimum attainable with CHD. Interest is therefore turning to alternative therapies exploring the effects of increased frequency and time of hemodialysis treatment. This paper is mainly concerned with frequency. The rationale for daily hemodialysis is discussed and a short history of its use given. The results of studies of more frequent hemodialysis indicate the potential for health and quality of life improvement in a number of areas. Blood pressure control is improved and this appears to be associated with improvement in left ventricular geometry and mass. At face value the studies suggest that increased frequency (and/or time) improve intermediate outcomes that may be associated with survival. The need for well-designed, randomized prospective trials is indicated and these are underway. An international registry has also been established. Results from these initiatives will tell whether the improvement potential is realized.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
