Although outcomes improved during the past decade for patients receiving maintenance dialysis, gains were few in certain key areas, as highlighted in the 2016 Peer Kidney Care Initiative Report. Overall incidence rates of dialysis therapy initiation in adults remained relatively stable (similar to 42 per 100,000 US population, 2009-2013), but rates varied more than 2-fold, from 26 to 54, across US geographic regions. Hospitalization rates in incident patients decreased from 261 hospitalizations per 100 patient-years in 2003 to 207 in 2012, but observation stay rates increased from 40 to 67, attenuating the decline in hospitalizations by half. Decreases in prevalent patient hospitalizations for heart failure, from 15.6 per 100 patient-years in 2004 to 9.5 in 2013, were partially offset by increases in hospitalizations for volume overload, from 3.0 in 2004 to 6.1 in 2013. Prevalent patient rates of hospitalizations for arrhythmias (similar to 4.6 per 100 patient-years) did not improve during the past decade, whereas sudden cardiac death as a proportion of total cardiovascular deaths increased from 53% to 73%. Hospitalization rates for pneumonia/influenza, at about 8.3 per 100 patient-years in prevalent patients, did not decrease during this period, while hospitalization rates for bacteremia/sepsis increased from 8.6 to 12.0. If decreases in mortality rates are to be sustained, novel approaches to these challenges will be required.
