ICC Intraclass correlation coefficients, HD Haemodialysis. ^aA minimum number of days needed to achieve an ICC of 0.80 calculated using the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula; ^bEstimates from the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula should be rounded up (e.g. an estimate of at least 1.2 days should be interpreted as at least 2 days because 1 will be insufficient to achieve an ICC ≥ 0.8
