Evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in chronic dialysis recipients in France.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This observational study aimed to assess the impact of the pandemic on the way kidney transplantation, survival, and vaccination evolved in chronic dialysis recipients (CDR) over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic waves and inter-waves.

Methods

Using the French national health claims database, incident persons with end-stage kidney disease in the years 2015 to 2021 treated with dialysis were followed up until 31 December, 2022. Kidney transplantation and survival in the pandemic sub-periods compared to the pre-pandemic period were investigated using longitudinal models with time-dependent covariates. In addition, the impact of cumulative doses of COVID-19 vaccine on hospitalization and survival was studied, comparing CDR and matched controls.
