Mortality Trends After Transfer From Peritoneal Dialysis to Hemodialysis

Annie-Claire Nadeau-Fredette et al.

Summary: This multinational study found that mortality rates were highest in the first month after transitioning from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis, and gradually declined afterwards. Older age, earlier initiation of peritoneal dialysis, and longer peritoneal dialysis duration were associated with increased risk of death.

Filtering for the best policy: An economic evaluation of policy options for kidney replacement coverage in the Philippines

Diana Beatriz S. Bayani et al.

Summary: The study in the Philippines aimed to identify the most cost-effective policy strategy for financing kidney replacement therapy in the context of universal healthcare policy. The cost-effectiveness analysis showed that shifting to a PD-First policy provided better value-for-money compared to other options. The government should consider supporting policies that promote kidney transplants and ensure proper evaluation of partial coverage policies for optimal care delivery.

The reliability and success of peritoneal dialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic

Hasan H. Yeter et al.

Summary: This study evaluated symptoms, changes in laboratory findings, and the impact of depression in PD patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that depression was associated with symptoms such as dyspnea, weight gain, and fatigue. The study also indicated that PD is a reliable and successful form of dialysis, with RM-APD potentially providing more stable bone-mineral metabolism.

Outcomes of Remote Patient Monitoring for Automated Peritoneal Dialysis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Hee-Yeon Jung et al.

Summary: The study found that while HRQOL and dialysis-related outcomes were comparable between RPM-APD and T-APD, RPM-APD showed positive patient satisfaction. Further long-term and large-scale studies will be required to determine the efficacy of RPM-APD.
