Results: 100% (10/10) indicate that ultrafiltration is more effective than the use of diuretics to reduce weight loss and fluid elimination in patients with decompensated heart failure. Conclusions: According to the 10 scientific evidences, it is concluded that: There is evidence that ultrafiltration is more effective than the use of diuretics to reduce weight loss and fluid elimination in patients with decompensated heart failure.
