Does incident alternate night nocturnal home hemodialysis improve employment rate at 1 year in incident dialysis patients compared to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis?
Alternate night nocturnal home hemodialysis is associated with a significantly higher employment rate and lower use of aluminum-based phosphate binders at 1 year compared to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Effect estimate: OR 6.10 (95% CI 1.77-20.99)
Absolute Event Rate: 80% vs 33.3%
p-value: p=0.04
Abstract Introduction: While studies demonstrated favorable outcomes of nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD), direct comparison on employment rate, clinical and laboratory outcomes between the NHHD and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) had not been previously performed. Methods: A 1‐year retrospective observation study was performed in 20 incidents alternate night NHHD and 81 incident CAPD patients of Chinese ethnicity, who were sex, diabetic status, and Charlson comorbidity index matched, but not age due to our center's age limit for NHHD enrollment. The primary outcome was the difference in employment rate at 1 year. Secondary outcomes included differences in clinical parameters (weight, blood pressure, number of antihypertensive medication, dosage of phosphate binders, and erythropoietin stimulating agent) and laboratory parameters (residual renal function, mineral metabolic markers, hemoglobin). Findings: NHHD subjects were 5 years younger than CAPD patients, and they had higher employment rate (80% vs. 33.3%, P < 0.01) at 1 year, with age‐adjusted odds ratio for employment was 6.10 (95% confidence interval 1.77–20.99, P = 0.04). They consumed less aluminum‐based phosphate binder (0 vs. 1800 mg, P < 0.01), but showed no significant disparities in other clinical parameters. Residual renal function in both groups declined comparably, nonetheless NHHD group had lower serum phosphate (1.37 vs. 1.71 mmol/L, P = 0.01) and calcium phosphate product (3.13 vs. 4.12 mmol 2 /L 2 , P < 0.01), with similar hemoglobin levels. Discussion: NHHD appeared to offer higher employment rate, lower dosage of aluminum‐based phosphate binder and mineral metabolic markers at 1 year compared with CAPD in Hong Kong.
Li et al. (Wed,) conducted a observational in End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis (n=101). Nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD) vs. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was evaluated on Employment rate at 1 year (OR 6.10, 95% CI 1.77-20.99, p=0.04). Incident nocturnal home hemodialysis was associated with a significantly higher employment rate at 1 year compared to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (80% vs. 33.3%; age-adjusted OR 6.10).
