Time on Therapy of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis with and without Remote Patient Monitoring: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) of patients undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD-RPM) may potentially enhance time on therapy due to possible improvements in technique and patient survival.

Objective

To evaluate the effect of APD-RPM as compared to APD without RPM on time on therapy.

Methods

Adult incident APD patients undergo APD for 90 days or more in the Baxter Renal Care Services (BRCS) Colombia network between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2019, with the study follow-up ending June 30, 2021. The exposure variable was APD-RPM vs. APD-without RPM. The outcomes of time on therapy and mortality rate over two years of follow-up were estimated in the full sample and in a matched population according to the exposure variable. A propensity score match
