Treatment patterns and survival of low and intermediate-risk prostate cancer in end-stage kidney disease: A retrospective population cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In accordance with guidelines, observation with or without active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer increased in recent years in the general population. We compared treatment patterns and mortality for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer and mortality rates among end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and non-ESKD patients.

Methods

This is a retrospective population-based observational cohort study of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare data of men aged 66 years and older with localized prostate cancer (2004-2015). ESKD status was determined using Medicare billing codes. Multivariable logistic regression models and Cox-proportional hazards models were used to study definitive treatment patterns and mortality, respectively.
