I had missed this, but the Cochrane review from last year (doi:10.1002/14651858.CD008566.pub2) could not confirm a mortality benefit with CVVH due to low numbers in the studies. I wonder how we should discuss that in the article. JFW | T@lk 16:45, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ῥάβδος (rhábdos, “rod, wand”). It also explains rhabdomere. 2600:1700:4CA1:3C80:ED78:EA7D:6EE1:95DA (talk) 06:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "Etymology" section links to wikt:rhabdo-#Prefix which explains precisely this. JFW | T@lk 19:18, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
