Journal ArticleDOI

The dose of hemodialysis and patient mortality

TL;DR: The level of hemodialysis dose measured by URR or Kt/V beyond which the mortality rate does not continue to decrease, though not well defined with this study, appears to be above current levels of typical treatment of he modialysis patients in the U.S.
Journal Article

K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease

TL;DR: This guideline contains brief reference to diagnosis and clinical interventions and can serve as a "road map" linking other clinical practice guidelines and pointing out where other guidelines need to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A methodology for measuring food poverty applied to Kenya

TL;DR: In this article, a new way of establishing a food poverty line taking into account regional food preferences and prices is proposed, which satisfies the desirable fundamental properties of such measures and has the additional advantage of being additively decomposable.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Foster–Greer–Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measures: 25 years later

TL;DR: The FGT class of decomposable poverty measures was introduced in Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke (Econometrica 52:761-776, 1984) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
