Transformation of 5-D itch scale and numerical rating scale in chronic hemodialysis patients. [PDF]
BMC Nephrol, 2017 Pruritus is a common and frustrating symptom in hemodialysis (HD) patients and 5-D itch scale is proposed as a reliable measurement of pruritus. However, information regarding 5-D itch scale categories is currently unavailable. We explored optimal cut-offs 5-D itching scale based on numerical rating scale (NRS) categories in HD patients.Four hundred ...
