Very nice catch! And word descriptions (small/regular/large) are quite meaningless across manufacturers - see from @amjhypertension.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ajh/article/...
Cuff sizes of 42 home-based devices from 13 manufacturers on the US BP Validated Device Listing and comparison with the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations. Devices from the same manufacturer with similar cuff size options and terminologies were grouped together and sequential numbers were used to indicate each device. *Omron 12 devices: HEM-9200T, BP7000, BP7250 HEM-7311, BP7200 HEM-7311, BP7100 HEM-7311, BP5450 HEM-7311, BP5350 HEM-7311, BP7450 HEM-7320, BP7350 HEM-7320, BP5100 HEM-7311, BP5250 HEM-7320, BP7900-HEM7311. **Transtek standard size (22–32 cm) fully overlaps with the ranges for its large (22–42 cm) and XL (22–45 cm) sizes.

But…very low SGLT2i/GLP1 use in this study, so we are living in a different world. Plus we don’t stop either of those meds in CKD/CKD5 not on dialysis #NephJC

Who even cares about PO4 binders! Maybe do a natural experiment if that mattered clinically? Stop the binders and QoL will surely go up?

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
