End Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis, Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis

Brief summary

The burden of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is increasing worldwide. Although kidney transplantation is the most cost-effective renal replacement therapy, dialysis is still the main way to treat ESRD patients due to the limited kidney donor, with approximately 89% of such dialysis patients receive hemodialysis (HD) and the remainder receive peritoneal dialysis (PD). This distribution of dialysis modality, however, varies widely by health jurisdiction. For instance, more than 97% of dialysis patients are treated with HD in Japan, but more than 50% treated with PD in Mexico. Evidence comparing the two modalities suggests that mortality risks may be comparable, but all evidence come from observational study and there is no randomized controlled trial to compare patient survival between PD and HD due to patients enrollment issue.More importantly, for most health care systems, such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Indonesia and China, PD is less expensive than HD. It is possible, then, that a greater global utilization of PD might improve access to renal replacement therapy in less advanced economies. The investigators have conducted a prospective, randomized, parallel, open-label, multi-center, non-inferiority trial to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with PD versus conventional in-center HD in incident ESKD patients. A total of 1082 ESKD patients were randomly assigned to PD or conventional in-center HD, and 235 patients enrolled in stage 1 with complete measures of the Burden of Kidney Disease at both baseline and 48 weeks and 668 patients enrolled in stage 2 were included in analysis. However, this trial was designed to evaluate quality of life between PD and HD and all patients were follow-up 48 weeks. Therefore, in this observational cohort study, the investigators will perform extended follow-up for participants including in analysis . Our primary objective is to evaluate the association of dialysis modality (PD and HD) with all-cause mortality in ESKD patients. The investigators also explore the impact of PD and HD on major cardiovascular event composite (MACE), a composite outcome of MACE and all-cause death, hospitalized myocardial infarction, hospitalized stroke and hospitalized heart failure, healthy utility, dialysis cost, activity of daily living, and changes of RRF, hemoglobin, and other biochemical parameters.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants died due to any causeFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upPatients died due to any cause

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants with composite outcome of MACE and all-cause deathFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upPatients experience cardiovascular events and death.
Number of Participants with hospitalized myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failureFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upPatients were hospitalized due to myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure.
Healthy utilityFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upHealthy utility was assessed by Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form (KDQoL-SF™, version 1.3) questionnaire domain of General health, with a range of 1 to 100 and higher value indicates better healthy utility
Rate of difference in dialysis cost between PD and HDFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upDialysis cost is evaluated by budget impact model which is developed by Baxter Healthcare Corporation and is a excel based calculator with higher value indicates higher cost
Number of Participants with major cardiovascular event composite (MACE)From the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upMACE defined as defined as the first occurrence of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke or death from cardiovascular causes
Changes of residual renal functionFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upResidual renal function was evaluated using 24h urine volume and the unit is ml.
Changes of hemoglobinFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upThe unit of hemoglobin is g/L.
Changes of serum phosphorsFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upThe unit of serum phosphors is mmol/L.
Changes of serum albuminFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upThe unit of serum albumin is g/L.
Changes of activity of daily livingFrom the first day receiving assigned treatment to the end of 3rd year follow-upActivity of daily living assessed using Activrty Daily Living (ADL) scale, with a range of 14 to 56 and a score \< 14 indicates independent daily living and a higher score indicates serious dependent daily living.
