Years of Potential Life Lost on Renal Replacement Therapy: Retrospective Study Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease is the non-communicable disease with the highest growth in morbidity and mortality. Renal transplantation (RT) is the first option of renal replacement in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and dialysis is an alternative. However, there is no objective quantification of the impact of both options on a patient's overall survival. The purpose of our study is to assess the potential years of life lost by patients on renal replacement therapy.

Methods

Retrospective study cohort conducted from 2008 to 2018 based on autonomic data registry.

Results

11,551 patients included who received renal replacement therapy (RRT) in a range of age from 15 to 94 years. The mean age at the time of onset was 62.7 years, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (62.4;
