Examine the Epidemiology and Outcomes of Transitions From PD-to-HD in Canada

Sponsor: Ciusss de L'Est de l'Île de Montréal

Summary

Transitions from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis are common during kidney replacement therapy and may be associated with adverse outcomes. However, the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of PD-to-HD transitions at a national level remain incompletely characterized. This study will use Canadian dialysis and hospitalization databases to examine the epidemiology and outcomes of PD-to-HD transitions among adults initiating dialysis in Canada. The study will evaluate transition incidence, predictors, and post-transition outcomes including mortality, transplantation, modality changes, and hospitalizations.
