Percentage of patient months on maintenance hemodialysis during the last HD treatment of month with a chronic catheter continuously for 90 days or longer prior to the last hemodialysis session.
Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) peritoneal dialysis patients with total solute clearance for urea (endogenous residual renal urea clearance & dialytic) measured at least once in a four month time period.
Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) peritoneal dialysis patients with weekly Kt/V urea (endogenous residual renal urea clearance & dialytic) calculated in a standard way.
Percentage of all peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patient months with serum or plasma phosphorus measured at least once within the month.
Percentage of all adult peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients included in the sample for analysis with serum calcium measured at least once within month
Percentage of all patient months for adult patients (> = 18years old) whose delivered dose of hemodialysis (calculated from the last measurement of the month using the UKM or Daugirdas II formula) was spKt/V >= 1.2.
Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) hemodialysis patients in the sample for analyses for whom delivered HD dose was calculated using UKM or Daugirdas II during the study period and for whom the frequency of HD per week is specified.
Percentage of all adult (>= 18 years old) HD patients in the sample for analyses with documented monthly adequacy measurements (spKt/V) or its components in the calendar month
This is a survey-based measure and one of the family of surveys called CAHPS Surveys (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems)that are focused on patient experience. The questionnaire asks End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients receiving in-center hemodialysis care about the services and quality of care that they experience. Patients assess their dialysis providers, including nephrologists and medical and non-medical staff, the quality of dialysis care they receive, and information sharing about their disease.
Percentage of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients aged 6 months and older receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis during the time from October 1 (or when the influenza vaccine became available) to March 31 who either received, were offered and declined, or were determined to have a medical contraindication to the influenza vaccine.
