Differences in hospitalisation between peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dialysis is associated with frequent hospitalisations. Studies comparing hospitalisations between peritoneal dialysis (PD) and haemodialysis (HD) report conflicting results and mostly analyse data of patients that remain on their initial dialysis modality.

Methods

The Dutch nOcturnal and hoME dialysis Study To Improve Clinical Outcomes collected hospitalisation data of patients who started dialysis between 2012 and 2017. Primary outcome was hospitalisation rate, analysed with a multi-state model that attributed each hospitalisation to the current dialysis modality.

Results

In total, 695 patients (252 PD, 443 HD) treated in 31 Dutch hosp
