Key result
Assisted peritoneal dialysis is associated with similar annual hospital days as in-center hemodialysis.
Why the study?
Does assisted peritoneal dialysis reduce the rate of hospital days compared to in-center hemodialysis in patients requiring dialysis?
Population
1,075 patients requiring dialysis in Ontario, Canada.
Comparison

Assisted PD shows comparable all-cause hospitalization to in-center HD; leaves open confirmation of equivalence in randomized trials.

Does assisted peritoneal dialysis reduce the rate of hospital days compared to in-center hemodialysis in patients requiring dialysis?
Absolute Event Rate: 11.1% vs 12.9%
p-value: p=0.19
Assisted peritoneal dialysis is associated with similar overall hospitalization rates compared to in-center hemodialysis, though dialysis-related hospitalizations are higher.
Oliver et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis (n=1,075). Assisted peritoneal dialysis vs. In-center hemodialysis was evaluated on Hospital days per person-year of follow-up (p=0.19). Assisted peritoneal dialysis was associated with a similar rate of all-cause hospitalization (11.1 days/year) compared with in-center hemodialysis (12.9 days/year).
