... in the sequential BP group (42.4% vs. 81.7%, p < 0.001) than the “standard BP” (74.2% vs. 81.7%, p > 0.05). Patients treated with sequential BP had a longer survival than those treated with “standard BP” (22.4 vs. 18.7 months; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The sequential approach may enhance the positive effect...

.... Patients were followed up from catheter insertion and assessed according to mechanical and infectious complications related to PD, patients, and technique survival. Results: Over 6 years, 370 patients were included in all three study centers. Mean patient age was 57.8 ± 16.32 years. Diabetic kidney disease...

... catheters because of mechanical complications in patients on chronic HD between June 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. The feasibility of the procedure was defined by successful exchange and catheter patency at 6 months. Catheter survival and immediate complications were reported. Results: A total of 49...

Rivera; Giancarlo Buitrago; Bengt Lindholm; Ricardo Sanchez Introduction: Comparisons of survival between dialysis modalities is of great importance to patients with kidney failure, their families, and healthcare systems. Objective...

... access (VA) is the highest risk factor for blood infections, hospitalization, and mortality of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The risk of mortality while using a catheter is greater than that while using grafts. The objective of this article is to know the survival rate in relation to the type...

... with poor quality of life and increased mortality. Their coexistence and impact on survival in HD patients have rarely been investigated. Our aim is to investigate the survival of HD patients presenting either none, one, or both disorders and to compare certain features between these groups. Methods: After...

... catheters were placed in 673 hemodialysis patients, 622 in the jugular/subclavian veins and 144 in the femoral veins. Patients were followed prospectively for 36 months. Results: The survival of the tunneled catheters was 771 days 95% CI (737–805) for jugular and 660 days 95% CI (582–739) for femoral veins...

...Hideki Kawanishi The evidence concerning online hemodiafiltration (HDF) includes the following: (1) the increase of removal of uremic toxin, (2) the prevention of dialysis rerated hypotension, (3) the recovery of survival, and (4) the recovery of dialysis related uncertain symptoms. Although...

... aimed to identify factors that can influence the survival of HIV-infected patients on HD. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 44 HIV-infected patients on HD. Results: A total of 17 patients (39%) died. Median survival on HD was 30.8 months and the survival rate at 1 and 5 years...

...) in Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions (5,305,940 inhabitants, 141,174 diabetics treated with metformin) of all MALA-RRT cases. Results: One hundred and seventeen cases of AKI-MALA-RRT were observed (12.04/100,000 metformin treated diabetics, 1.45% of all RRT-ICU patients). Survival rate was 78.3%. The average...

... receiving chronic hemodialysis (HDx). Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was carried out on patients >84 years of age who started chronic dialysis between 2004 and 2012. Univariate and multivariate analyses determined which parameters predicted survival. Results: Twenty-nine hemodialyzed...

..., a significant reduction in the β-natriuretic peptide increase, left atrium volume and hospitalization among paricalcitol-treated patients was reported. Based on these results, further RCTs are warranted to test whether paricalcitol may improve cardiovascular survival compared to standard therapy in CKD...
