High level of infection-related hospitalizations in the 2019-2020 French national dialysis cohort.

ABSTRACT: Dialysis patients experience a high rate of hospitalizations for infection. This work aimed to study the frequency of hospitalizations for infections and the associated risk factors in a nationwide dialysis cohort during 2019-2020. This was an observational, retrospective study using two national databases. We included 59 585 patients undergoing dialysis from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2020. Hospitalization rates (per 1000 patient-years) were calculated from all hospital discharges with a principal or related diagnosis of infection. Infections were classified into 14 categories. The association between individual risk factors and incidence of infection-related hospitalizations was estimated with multilevel Poisson models with patients as random effects. The incidence rate was 245 (95% c
