Hence no power/sample size calculation is needed. Totally legit. Often a convenience sample of 50 or 100 patients. Other outcomes: show its possible to recruit patients, measure recruitment rate #NephJC

Fun fact about this study which highlights a quirk of our fellowship program @MGHKidneys @BWHKidney For those who do not know, our 1st year of fellowship is split equally between two sites in Boston - 6 months each at BWH & MGH #nephjc
Harish Seethapathy @BetterCallSeeth
There are 'noticeable' differences in clinical practice at both sites (even though a large proportion of faculty were trained in the joint program) One such difference is mannitol use for IDH #nephjc https://t.co/xBhMBgABx0
Harish Seethapathy @BetterCallSeeth
Finnian, the lead author of this paper and (very) smart Irish nephrologist was surprised. He went from mandatory mannitol prescriptions (1st three Rx) at one site in December to none at the other site in January. #nephjc https://t.co/jzkmQz0HE3
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC
In this case they do report that 50 patients would allow 80% power for 11 m Hg decline in SBP..but that doesn’t seem to have driven the sample size (Swap’s interpretation) #NephJC

Dr. Divya Bajpai 🇮🇳 @divyaa24
@NephJC In my limited experience pts with AKI and Incident dialysis pt are more prone for IDH. Once they attain their dry wt in first 3months or so then they do better. So I'm happy with these participants, but feel shouldn't mix AKI with CKD progression #nephjc
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC
Though it’s not clear, it seems like mannitol/saline were given for first 3 sessions only, which were protocolized for HD orders - is that how everyone read it too? #NephJC Any comments @BetterCallSeeth?

@NephJC @rheault_m @Kat1eJones Depends on the kid. Kids with minimal UOP where we have to UF aggressively it can be challenging. Crit lines and cool diasylate have been helpful for those kids. #nephjc

Also, urea and weight higher in mannitol group (ignore the p values in table 1. Ugh) #NephJC https://t.co/f55dRofw7T

@NephJC The intervention group is 13kg lighter than the placebo; not statistically significant...but might affect outcome because lower body weight is an independent risk factor for IDH. #NephJC

@Kat1eJones @NephJC @rheault_m Small kids/babies with AKI have the largest problem, in my (short) experience. Why smaller machines like Aquadex or Carpediem are constantly on our mind! #nephjc

@TRIOZZIJL indeed - statistical significance in table 1 is a big fallacy. Stay away from p values in table 1 unless you want #EpiTwitter outcry! #NephJC

So what happened? Decline in SBP small at 3.9 mm Hg, not significant - as expected! Underpowered for this effect IMO See figure 2 #NephJC https://t.co/eX9p9Cneam

Would mannitol cause any badness? Hard to say with an N of 52, but doesn’t seem so from table S5 #NephJC https://t.co/dbJ2YvYNYb

Will you start using Mannitol? If so only at initiation of HD or even otherwise? #nephjc check @LTummalapalli twitter poll

If you are still not keen on Mannitol not, why not? #NephJC

Should mannitol be used/tried in AKI patients on HD with HIRRT ? https://t.co/PugrjW94OD #nephjc what say @jaykoyner @DrRonWald ?
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC
Ideally this pilot/feasibility should lead to a definitive, properly powered RCT of mannitol #NephJC
Ian McCoy, MD, MS @NephroNinja
@NephJC This study was underpowered for efficacy outcomes, so wouldn't change my practice. Also worry about nephrotoxicity from mannitol in AKI-D. #NephJc

@NephroNinja and is BP/IDH an outcome that matters? SHouldn't it be clinical outcomes? Would you agree a large RCT of mannitol seems like a good idea? #NephJC
