Background
Ultrafiltration is a method used to achieve diuresis in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) when there is diuretic resistance, but its efficacy in other settings is unclear. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysi... Read More about Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Longitudinal bioimpedance vector plots add little value to fluid management of peritoneal dialysis patients (2016)
Journal Article
Tan, B. K., Yu, Z., Fang, W., Lin, A., Ni, Z., Qian, J., …Davies, S. J. (2016). Longitudinal bioimpedance vector plots add little value to fluid management of peritoneal dialysis patients. Kidney International, 89(2), https://doi.org/10.1038/ki.2015.294

Bioimpedance (BI) has the potential to enable better management of fluid balance, which can worsen over time on peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to loss of residual kidney function and progressive muscle wasting. We undertook a prospective, randomized, o... Read More about Longitudinal bioimpedance vector plots add little value to fluid management of peritoneal dialysis patients.

Heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease multimorbidity at hospital discharge transition: a study of patient and carer experience (2015)
Journal Article
Davies. (2015). Heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease multimorbidity at hospital discharge transition: a study of patient and carer experience. Health Expectations, 2401 -2412. https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.12208

BACKGROUND: Care for patients with multimorbidity represents a major challenge not only for patients and carers but to health-care systems. Hospital discharge transition is a critical point at which challenges for multimorbidity may amplify. OBJECTIV...

Independent effects of systemic and peritoneal inflammation on peritoneal dialysis survival (2013)
Journal Article
Davies, S. (2013). Independent effects of systemic and peritoneal inflammation on peritoneal dialysis survival. Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2071 - 2080. https://doi.org/10.1681/ASN.2013030314

Systemic inflammation, as evidenced by elevated inflammatory cytokines, is a feature of advanced renal failure and predicts worse survival. Dialysate IL-6 concentrations associate with variability in peritoneal small solute transport rate (PSTR), whi...
