Structural Equation Modeling to Explore Patient to Staff Ratios as an Explanatory Factor for Variation in Dialysis Facility Outcomes

TL;DR: This study did not provide evidence that patient per staff ratios explain variation in dialysis facility outcomes, and suggested that the impacts of staffing ratios on individual patients should be investigated to overcome the possible ecological fallacy.

Using patient-reported outcome measures during the management of patients with end-stage kidney disease requiring treatment with haemodialysis (PROM-HD): a qualitative study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the methodological basis for routine patient-reported outcome assessment, particularly using electronic formats (ePROs), to maximise the potential of PRO use, through exploration of the experiences, views and perceptions of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on implementation and use of ePROs in haemodialysis settings.
