The last pre-pandemic European Renal Association Registry report: age at start of kidney replacement therapy in Europe.

ABSTRACT: The European Renal Association (ERA) Registry Annual Report 2019 will be its last pre-pandemic report. From 2020 on, registry data will incorporate any potential impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) practices in Europe. The 2019 report focussed on age comparisons and found substantial differences in the distribution of primary renal disease, treatment modality, kidney donor type and the survival probabilities for different age categories. The report presents data that support a correlation (R ² = 0.43, P < 0.00001) between the incidence of KRT per million population (pmp) and the median age at the start of KRT in the different regions and countries, suggesting that initiating KRT at an older median age may be a determinant of K
