TL;DR: The high variability of peritoneal dialysis treatment in France suggests that PD can be used in almost all clinical conditions, and patient preference should play a more important role in the decision-making process.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that patients' age has a major impact on waitlisting practices, even for patients with no comorbidity or disability, whose survival would likely be improved by transplantation compared with dialysis.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that socio-economic factors and diabetes explain substantial between-area variations in RRT incidence and highlights the variability of practice patterns, especially decisions about RRT and their potential impact on incidence.

TL;DR: Among first kidney transplant recipients younger than 30 years in France, those currently in adolescence or early adulthood have the highest risk of graft failure.

TL;DR: This study hypothesizes that some patients currently treated in hospital-based haemodialysis could be treated with another RRT modality without any increase in mortality risk, and confirmed that the development of kidney transplantation in six sub-cohorts (according to age and diabetes status) is an efficient strategy.
