Outcomes of dialytic modalities in a large incident registry cohort from Eastern Europe: the Romanian Renal Registry

摘要

Background Studies comparing survival in hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients reported controversial results, mainly during the first 2 years of treatment. Moreover, there is a significant geographic variation in the use of these modalities. We aimed to compare the survival of HD and PD patients using data from the Romanian Renal Registry.
