Applying an artificial neural network to predict total body water in hemodialysis patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Elderly patients with cardiovascular comorbidities are more likely to die before progressing to the need for undergoing hemodialysis; so deferring their predialysis vascular access (VA) surgery has been suggested. However, recent declines in cardiovascular mortality in the US population may have changed this...
