Risk and prognosis of Omicron infection in home-based dialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Home-based dialysis, including peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD), has been suggested to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and improve outcomes compared to in-center dialysis, yet evidence from China remains scarce.

Objective

To investigate the risk and prognosis of Omicron infection among patients receiving home-based dialysis versus in-center dialysis during the Omicron surge in Shanghai, China.

Methods

This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing maintenance dialysis (home-based dialysis or in-center dialysis) at Ren Ji Hospital from December 1, 2022, to January 31, 2023. The primary endpoint was Omicron infection rate; secondary endpoints included infection timeline, all-cause mortality, and associated ris
