Five-Year Survival for End-Stage Renal Disease Patients in the United States, Europe, and Japan, 1982 to 1987

TLDR
Analysis of 5-year survival for new end-stage renal disease patients accepted for renal replacement therapy between 1982 and 1987 in the United States, Europe, and Japan showed that the US patients were older and more likely to be diabetic than the patients in either EDTA or Japan.

The Urea Reduction Ratio and Serum Albumin Concentration as Predictors of Mortality in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

TL;DR: Low urea reduction ratios during dialysis are associated with increased odds ratios for death, and these risks are worsened by inadequate nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dose of hemodialysis and patient mortality

TL;DR: The level of hemodialysis dose measured by URR or Kt/V beyond which the mortality rate does not continue to decrease, though not well defined with this study, appears to be above current levels of typical treatment of he modialysis patients in the U.S.

Nonadherence in hemodialysis: associations with mortality, hospitalization, and practice patterns in the DOPPS.

TL;DR: Nonadherence was associated with increased mortality risk (skipping treatment, excessive IDWG, and high phosphate) and with hospitalization risk (kipping, high phosphate).
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Dose of Dialysis on Morbidity and Mortality

TL;DR: It is concluded that increasing the dose of delivered dialysis decreases the hospitalization and mortality rates of hemodialysis-dependent patients.

A Survey of Vascular Access for Haemodialysis in The Netherlands

TL;DR: A survey of vascular access in a large population in The Netherlands found that the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) graft was the one most used graft and was selected in more than 50% of the cases in 17 centres.

Survival analysis of patients undergoing dialysis.

TL;DR: Patients treated in for-profit and not-for-profit units appeared to have the same mortality, although patients treated in freestanding units had lower mortality, and the direction of causation was not always clear in these results.

Results of Renal Replacement Therapy in Europe, 1980 to 1987

TL;DR: It is concluded that, during the last decade, survival on RRT has continued to improve not only because of decreasing mortality after transplantation and on CAPD, but also due to improving survival on hemodialysis.

Mortality in Chronic Dialysis Patients in Japan

TL;DR: The addition of older patients has not as yet increased Japanese mortality, which is markedly higher in the first year of dialysis than in later years.
