Variation in the level of eGFR at dialysis initiation across dialysis facilities and geographic regions.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The relative influence of facilities and regions on the timing of dialysis initiation remains unknown. The purpose of the study is to determine the variation in eGFR at dialysis initiation across dialysis facilities and geographic regions in Canada after accounting for patient-level factors (case mix). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In total, 33,263 di...
متن کاملGeographic 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 کاملVariation in fistula use across dialysis facilities: is it explained by case-mix?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) remain the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis patients. Dialysis facilities that fail to meet Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services goals cite patient case-mix as a reason for low AVF prevalence. This study aimed to determine the magnitude of the variability in AVF usage across dialysis facilities and the extent to which patient...
متن کاملProvision of Home Dialysis by Freestanding Renal Dialysis Facilities
This article explores home dialysis provision among freestanding renal facilities by examining whether they provide continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), and home hemodialysis. These modalities require fewer visits to a dialysis center, which may be beneficial for patients living long distances from facilities. A negative association wa...
متن کاملThe relationship between hemoglobin level with PTH level and dialysis adequacy in chronic hemodialysis patients
Background: The role of high levels of parathyroid hormone in the development of anemia either directly or by mediating mechanisms is unclear, and there is a controversy about the pathophysiological role of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the development and intensification of anemia associated with renal disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between anemia and parathy...
