Assisted peritoneal dialysis compared to in-centre hemodialysis - an observational study of outcomes from the Swedish Renal Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In-center hemodialysis (IHD) is the most common dialysis modality. Assisted peritoneal dialysis (assPD) is an option for frail and/or incapacitated patients. Both modalities can be used to alleviate uremic symptoms towards the end of life. There are few studies comparing these modalities. The primary aim is to compare hospital admissions between assPD and IHD. The secondary aim is to compare continuation of the dialysis modality and patient survival.

Methods

Patients > 65 years, registered in the Swedish Renal Registry (SRR) and starting dialysis 2010-2017 were eligible for inclusion. Patients starting on assPD were matched with patients starting on IHD according to sex, Charlson Index, age and date for start of dialysis. Data were collected from SRR and other reg
