May support transfer to hemodialysis upon PD complications; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.

Does transferring from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis improve survival rates in end-stage renal disease patients with PD-related complications?
Absolute Event Rate: 81% vs 28%
p-value: p=<0.00001
Transferring peritoneal dialysis patients to hemodialysis upon the appearance of PD-related complications significantly improves 5-year survival compared to remaining on peritoneal dialysis.
Panagoutsos et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease (n=299). Transfer from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis (integrated care) vs. Remaining on peritoneal dialysis was evaluated on 5-year survival rate (p=<0.00001). Transferring from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis upon complications significantly improved 5-year survival compared to remaining on peritoneal dialysis (81% vs 28%; P<0.00001).
