Abbreviations: BL, bleeding during HD; CI 95%, 95% confidence interval; CVVHD/HDF, continuous veno-venous hemodialysis/hemodiafiltration; FR, flow rate; LCL, the lower limit of a confidence interval at the 95% level; UCL, the upper limit of a confidence interval at the 95% level. Polysulfone dialyzer membranes have been used in all cases.
