showed that BD was only significantly associated with fluid control adherence. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relationship between the DSE subscale of the KDQ OL and fluid control adhere n c e . Factors and outcomes in the present study were measured by validated methods. Further, despite the fact that patients with increased urine output had significantly higher interdialytic weight gain (Lee & Molassiotis, 20 02 ; R i chard, 20 06), many previous studies did not adjust for residual renal function or urine output. Here, however, urine output was adjusted for diuretic use, providing greater accuracy regarding this variable than these previous studies.
