Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis ; Comparison of Adjusted Mortality Rates According to the Duration of Dialysis: Analysis of the Netherlands Cooperative Study on the Adequacy of Dialysis 2
ABSTRACT. Various studies indicate that fair comparisons of mortality rates between hemodialysis (HD) patients and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are difficult because of differences in patient characteristics, because of nonconstant relative risks of death (RR), and because the survival times of patients who switch treatment modalities can be censored in different ways. The differences in mortality rates between HD and PD patients were investigated in an analysis in which these potential sources of bias were taken into account.
