Geographic and facility-level variation in the use of peritoneal dialysis in Canada: a cohort study.
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis is associated with similar survival and similar improvement in quality of life and is less costly compared with in-centre hemodialysis. We examined facility and geographic variation in the use of peritoneal dialysis in Canada. METHODS We analyzed data from the Canadian Organ Replacement Register for the period January 2001 to December 2010. We identified patient...
متن کاملDialysis and transplantation among Aboriginal children with kidney failure.
BACKGROUND Relatively little is known about the management and outcomes of Aboriginal children with renal failure in Canada. We evaluated differences in dialysis modality, time spent on dialysis, rates of kidney transplantation, and patient and allograft survival between Aboriginal children and non-Aboriginal children. METHODS For this population-based cohort study, we used data from a nation...
متن کاملAssociation of U.S. Dialysis facility neighborhood characteristics with facility-level kidney transplantation.
BACKGROUND Improving access to optimal healthcare may depend on the attributes of neighborhoods where patients receive healthcare services. We investigated whether the characteristics of dialysis facility neighborhoods--where most patients with end-stage renal disease are treated--were associated with facility-level kidney transplantation. METHODS We examined the association between census tr...
متن کاملAssociation of dialysis facility-level hemoglobin measurement and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dose adjustment frequencies with dialysis facility-level hemoglobin variation: a retrospective analysis
BACKGROUND A key goal of anemia management in dialysis patients is to maintain patients' hemoglobin (Hb) levels consistently within a target range. Our aim in this study was to assess the association of facility-level practice patterns representing Hb measurement and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) dose adjustment frequencies with facility-level Hb variation. METHODS This was a retrosp...
متن کاملMortality differences by dialysis modality among incident ESRD patients with and without coronary artery disease.
It is unclear whether peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared with hemodialysis (HD) confers a survival advantage in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This hypothesis was tested in a national cohort of 107,922 patients starting dialysis therapy between May 1, 1995, and July 31, 1997. Data on patient characteristics were obtained from the Center for Medicare a...
