Experience and evidence: is there enough to support funding daily in-center dialysis?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dialysis community has increasingly shown the health benefits of short daily hemodialysis (sDHD) at home. While this appears mainly suitable for younger and more independent patients, it seems likely that older and frailer patients would benefit from short daily dialysis as well. Humber River Regional Hospital has an in-center daily dialysis program in Canada, offering services to 31 patients. The experiences of patients, challenges for the health care team, and funding issues are discussed and point toward a promising future for in-center daily dialysis. However, a need for studies of greater quality and quantity is outlined as a major obstacle in gaining widespread support for in-center daily dialysis from the funders of dialysis care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
