No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will investigate whether home dialysis uptake varies by the season of year. We will also investigate whether hospitalizations around the time of dialysis also vary by season of year and whether hospitalizations are associated with reduced home dialysis starts and sustained home dialysis uptake.

Conditions

  • Dialysis
  • Peritoneal Dialysis
  • Hospitalizations

Interventions

Season of Year

We stratify patients into 4 groups based on the season of the year (between 12/1/2007-11/30/2017) * Winter: December, January, February * Spring: March, April, May * Summer: June, July, August * Fall: September, October, November

OTHER

Hospitalized 14 days prior to dialysis

We further stratify patients into 3 groups based on whether they were hospitalized within 14 days prior to dialysis * Group 1: No hospitalization prior to dialysis * Group 2: Hospitalized within 14 days prior to dialysis for an acute infectious respiratory condition or one of the following acute cardiac conditions (arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, stroke, or fluid overload) * Group 3: Hospitalized within 14 days prior to dialysis for a condition not in Group 2
