Abbreviations of predialysis BM types with definitions and their respective determination method.
| Abbrevation . | Definition . | Process . |
|---|---|---|
| BM-dressed | BM with indoor clothes | Patients were weighed in the manner they were used to, wearing in-door clothing |
| BM-undressed | BM without clothes (underwear remained) | Patients were asked to remove all of their clothing, except for their underwear; 0.1 kg was deducted from the measured undressed BM to account for underwear |
| BM-reported | BM dressed with or without patient estimate of total garment mass. Input variable for predialysis BM to calculate IDWG and to determine ultrafiltration volume | After measuring BM-dressed, patients were asked if they normally deduct an estimated value for the remaining clothing. A distinction was made between [BM-reported (with deduction)] for those who deducted a self-estimated value for the remained clothing mass and [BM-reported (without deduction)] for patients who did not deduct anything |
| BM-template | BM with clothes minus the sum of worn garment items’ mass | A template with predefined average garment mass (Fig. 1) was used to determine the mass of the clothing patients had been weighed with. From each row, the correct box had to be selected (selection was based on the articles shown in the boxes) and all values were summed up to define the clothing mass. Then the clothing mass was subtracted from the dressed BM to obtain BM-template |
