Analysis of Trends and Influencing Factors of Cytokine-Adsorbing Therapies: A Nationwide Ecological Study in Japan
This study identified a declining trend in PMX-DHP use and an association between PMX-DHP and cytokine-adsorbing hemofilter utilization. These findings suggest that physicians' preferences and perceptions regarding cytokine-adsorption therapy may influence its use. Further research with individual patient data is warranted to confirm these findings.
