Key result
Small group teaching sessions were associated with a non-significant increase in the choice of peritoneal dialysis among incident ESRD patients (30.5% vs 19.5%; P=0.108).

Small group teaching should not yet alter predialysis counseling; leaves open whether such sessions affect peritoneal dialysis selection in ESRD.

What factors are associated with the choice of peritoneal dialysis in patients with incident end-stage renal disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 30.5% vs 19.5%
p-value: p=0.108
Younger age, higher education, and better functional status are associated with choosing peritoneal dialysis, while early vascular access creation may be a barrier.
Chiang et al. (2016) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease (n=656). Small group teaching sessions vs. No small group teaching sessions was evaluated on Choice of peritoneal dialysis (p=0.108). Small group teaching sessions were associated with a non-significant increase in the choice of peritoneal dialysis among incident ESRD patients (30.5% vs 19.5%; P=0.108).
