Peritoneal Dialysis Technique Survival: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Reasons for transfer from peritoneal dialysis (PD) to hemodialysis (HD) remain incompletely understood. Among incident and prevalent patients receiving PD, we evaluated the association of clinical factors, including prior treatment with HD, with PD technique survival.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

Adults who initiated PD at a Dialysis Clinic, Inc (DCI) outpatient facility between January 1, 2010, and September 30, 2019.

Exposure

The primary exposure of interest was timing of PD start, categorized as PD-first, PD-early, or PD-late. Other covariates included demographics, clinical characteristics, and routine laboratory results.

Outcome

Modality switch from PD to HD sustained for more than 90 days.
