Why the study?

The study was designed to compare the cause of hospitalization and influencing factors between patients undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Does peritoneal dialysis compared to hemodialysis affect hospitalization rates and causes in dialysis patients?

Population

192 dialysis patients (92 HD patients and 100 PD patients)

Comparison

Patients undergoing hemodialysis vs peritoneal dialysis

Design

Retrospective study

Overview

May inform dialysis modality selection; leaves open causal effects on hospitalization without prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does peritoneal dialysis compared to hemodialysis affect hospitalization rates and causes in dialysis patients?

P
Population
192 dialysis patients (92 undergoing hemodialysis and 100 undergoing peritoneal dialysis)
I
Intervention
Peritoneal dialysis (PD)
C
Comparator
Hemodialysis (HD)
O
Outcome
Cause of hospitalization, hospitalization rate, and length of hospital stayhard clinical

Peritoneal dialysis is associated with a higher hospitalization rate and longer length of stay compared to hemodialysis, with infection being the primary cause for both modalities.
