Impact of frailty on mortality and transfer to hemodialysis after peritoneal dialysis initiation

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Frailty is associated with poor outcomes for patients on dialysis; however, dedicated studies among incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are lacking. This study aims to determine the association between frailty and mortality/transfer to hemodialysis (HD) among incident PD patients and identify whether dialysis modality (PD vs. HD) modifies the association of frailty and mortality following dialysis initiation.
