Mortality in chronic kidney disease and renal replacement therapy: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5 (estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis and transplanted patients.

Design

Population-based cohort study.

Setting

Swedish national healthcare system.

Participants

Swedish adult patients with CKD stages 4 and 5 (n=3040; mean age 66 years), peritoneal dialysis (n=725; 60 years), haemodialysis (n=1791; 62 years) and renal transplantation (n=606; 48 years) were identified in Stockholm County clinical quality registers for renal disease between 1999 and 2010. Five general population controls were matched to each patient by age, sex and index year.

Exposure

CKD status (stage 4 or 5/peritoneal dialysis/haemodialysis/transplanted).
