Use of an appetite and diet assessment tool in the pilot phase of a hemodialysis clinical trial: Mortality and morbidity in hemodialysis study

The effect of dialysis dose and membrane flux on nutritional parameters in hemodialysis patients: Results of the HEMO Study

“…ICED is a comorbidity classification system that evaluates the severity of 19 individual disease categories attained from a review of medical records using an ordinal scale [28]. The ADAT is a 44-item questionnaire regarding appetite and eating habits [37]. Subjective assessment of appetite was rated on a 5-point Likert scale: "very good," "good," "fair," "poor," and "very poor.…”

Appetite Is Associated with the Time of Recovery after the Dialytic Session in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis

“…All patients were treated with high permeability membranes. The first three questions of the Hemodialysis Study Appetite questionnaire [18] were used to assess appetite of the HD patients. The multiple-choice answers for the first question (‘During the past week, how would you rate your appetite?')…”

“…The second and third questions asked whether there had been a change in appetite, and if so, whether it had decreased or increased. In the Hemodialysis (HEMO) study, poor/very poor appetite was associated with lower dietary protein and energy intakes reported on diet records, and also lower enPCR measured by urea kinetics, validating the appetite question as a proxy for dietary protein and energy intakes [18]. We calculated TIRD following the methods of the study of Lindsay et al [12].…”

Comparison of Markers of Appetite and Inflammation Between Hemodialysis Patients With and Without Failed Renal Transplants

“…Subsequent studies showed that ADAT is a practical tool for assessing the relationship between appetite and dietary intake in HD patients. 12,36,37 The first 3 ADAT questions were related to appetite. The responses to the first question, ''During the past week, how would you rate your appetite?''…”

“…Previous reports showed that baseline responses to the first ADAT question were associated with decreased dietary energy and protein intakes and other measures of nutritional status. 36,37 The patients underwent thrice weekly HD for a 4-hour period with a standard bicarbonatecontaining dialysate bath using biocompatible HD membrane (polysulfone, FX-80 series, Fresenius, Germany). There were no reuse dialyzers.…”
