Table 1.
Demographic, anthropometric and energy metabolism characteristics of 1500 study patients.

Differences in mean delivered dialysis dose expressed using various scaling parameters between patients with different levels of physical activity categories.
Table 3.
Cox models of survival using Standardised spKt/V as time-dependent covariate (Model 1), standardised Kt/BSA as time-dependent covariate (Model 2), standardised Kt/REE as time-dependent covariate (Model 3) and standardised Kt/TEE as time-dependent covariate (Model 4).
Fig 1.
Survival Plot based on Kt/BSA quartiles adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidity, dialysis vintage, BMI and physical activity level.
Lines for Quartiles 3 and 4 overlap and hence they are not delineated in the graph.
Fig 2.
Survival plot based on Kt/TEE tertiles adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidity, dialysis vintage, BMI and physical activity level.
Table 4.
Equivalent minimum target spKt/V levels to Kt/BSA of 27119 in 4 patient groups defined by gender and weight (less than or greater than median).
Table 5.
Equivalent minimum target spKt/V levels to Kt/TEE of 25.79 in 3 patient groups based on activity level.
Table 6.
Recommended minimum spKt/V target based on gender, body size and activity level adjustment.
Fig 3.
Adjusted survival in patients according to achievement of recommended spKt/V adequacy targets based on gender, body size and physical activity and by conventional criteria (spKt/V >1.2).
The lines represent whether the patient has met both recommended dose criteria and conventional, just the conventional or neither.
