CORR data elements include demographics (age, date of birth, gender, personal health information number, ethnicity, postal code of residence), ESRD treatment modalities, change in treatment modalities with dates, treatment facility information, renal transplant details, selected comorbidities and outcomes (death, allograft loss).
Patients were excluded if they presented intracranial hypertension (which is a contraindication to the PLR test), if RRT was interrupted for non-haemodynamic reasons and if ventilation and sedation modalities were changed during the study period.
Globally, aid modalities have changed from mostly project-based vertical approaches to sector-wide horizontal approaches and budgetary support.
The only exception is when, after RRT interruption, the modality is changed (see below under 'Case report form: Change modality (step 3)'; Fig. 2).
The first factor is that the texture information included in the head modality is changed depending on observation view.
In the case that the modality is changed, a new CRF will need to be filled in (see 'Criteria to change RRT').
The impact of PET/CT on management was considered "high" when the treatment intent or modality was changed (e.g. from palliative to curative treatment or from surgery to radiotherapy) [ 17].
The first treatment modality has changed significantly over time, with a decrease in the number of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis and an increase in those undergoing haemodialysis with fistula (Table 2).
In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the treatment modality has changed dramatically after the introduction of novel agents and ASCT in Japan, and the survival outcome has significantly improved especially in younger patients with low-risk and deep response to initial therapy.
5-Fluorouracil administration modality was changed in the third patient (Case 3): the bolus schedule (5-FU 370 mg m−2 day−1 plus FA 50 mg tot−1 day−1 for 5 days every 3 weeks) was modified to a weekly schedule (5-FU 450 mg m−2 week−1 and FA 100 mg tot−1 without, without prophylactic therapy.
