Clinical and dialysis‐related characteristics of extremely long‐term hemodialysis survivors: Three case reports
Bibliographic record
Abstract
More than 40-year hemodialysis survivors are living evidence of the achievements of hemodialysis therapy. We present the case reports of three patients treated by chronic hemodialysis for 47 (Patient 1), 43 (Patient 2), and 42 years (Patient 3) from a single center. These patients possess characteristics that were already shown to be associated with improved long-term survival: initiation of hemodialysis at a young age, absence of diabetes, and a relatively low and stable body weight with good nutritional status. Although all of them underwent complications of long-term hemodialysis treatment, they lived (Patient 3), or are still living (Patients 1 and 2), an independent and full life. Their hemodialysis prescriptions included long sessions with a moderate blood flow rate, state-of-the-art hemodialysis technology, vascular access surgeries and care provided by nephrologists, good overall management of chronic kidney disease, and preventive measures and/or immediate action in case of cardiovascular disease.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
