May support nocturnal home hemodialysis to reduce admissions; leaves open need for randomized confirmation in end-stage renal disease.
Cohort (n=74)
Does nocturnal home hemodialysis reduce dialysis or cardiovascular related admissions in patients with end-stage renal disease compared to conventional hemodialysis?
Absolute Event Rate: 0.17% vs 0.4%
p-value: p=0.04
Conversion to nocturnal home hemodialysis is associated with a significant reduction in dialysis and cardiovascular-related hospital admissions compared to conventional hemodialysis.
Bergman et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease (n=74). Nocturnal home hemodialysis vs. Conventional hemodialysis was evaluated on Change in a composite of dialysis or cardiovascular related admissions rate (p=0.04). Conversion to nocturnal home hemodialysis decreased dialysis or cardiovascular-related admissions from 0.50 to 0.17 per patient-year (p=0.04) compared to conventional hemodialysis.
