What are the reasons for treatment modality selection between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis in patients starting ESRD therapy?

Population

n=150 consecutive patients starting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) therapy at a single center (Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal). Excluded: patients transplanted or who died prior to 6 weeks.

Intervention

Hemodialysis (HD) or Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

Outcome

Treatment modality (HD or PD) at 6 weeks after the initiation of ESRD

When informed and given a choice, patients starting ESRD therapy are equally likely to choose self-care hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
