Aims Despite several studies reporting similar outcomes for peritoneal dialysis (PD) and
hemodialysis (HD), the former is underused worldwide, with a PD prevalence of 15% in Italy …

Background Previous studies comparing the outcomes in haemodialysis (HD) with those in
peritoneal dialysis (PD) have yielded conflicting results. Methods The aim of the study was to …

Background. The influence of dialysis modality on prognosis is controversial. In the absence
of randomized trials, epidemiological investigations present the best method for studying the …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) are dialysis options for end-stage renal
disease patients in whom preemptive kidney transplantation is not possible. The selection of …

Introducción: La supervivencia entre la hemodiálisis (HD) y la diálisis peritoneal (DP) son
equivalentes, siendo los factores de comorbilidad asociados los que ejercen más influencia …

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) seems to be a good option to initiate renal
replacement therapy (RRT), but patients with graft failure choose PD less frequently than …

Due to ongoing limitations in the availability and timeliness of kidney transplantation, most
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) require some form of dialysis during their …

Considerable geographic variation exists in the relative use of hemodialysis (HD) vs
peritoneal dialysis (PD). Studies comparing survival between these modalities have yielded …

For renal replacement therapy, overall survival is more important than the choice of currently
available individual therapy. Objectives. To compare patients and technique survival on …

Background Although previous studies suggest similar patient survival for peritoneal dialysis
(PD) and haemodialysis (HD), PD use has decreased worldwide. We aimed to study trends …
