Assessment for Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis by Peritoneal Dialysis Nurses: Results of a Cohort Study
Impact of Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis Modality on Outcomes: A Cohort Study of the French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry
International audienceBACKGROUND:Patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be assisted by a nurse or a family member and treated either by automated PD (APD) or continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PD modality and type of assistance on the risk of transfer to haemodialysis (HD) and on the peritonitis risk in assisted PD patients.METHOD:This was a retrospective study based on data from the French Language PD Registry. All adults starting assisted PD in France between 2006 and 2015 were included. Events of interest were transfer to HD, peritonitis and death. Cox regression models were used for statistical analysis.RESULTS:Among the 12,144 incident patients who started PD in France during the study period, 6,167 were assisted. There were 5,060 nurse-assisted and 1,095 family-assisted PD patients. Overall, 5,171 were treated by CAPD and 996 by APD. In multivariate analysis, CAPD, compared to APD, was not associated with the risk of transfer to HD (cause specific hazard ratios [cs-HR] 0.96 [95% CI 0.84-1.09]). Patients on nurse-assisted PD had a lower risk of transfer to HD than family assisted PD patients (cs-HR 0.85 [95% CI 0.75-0.97]). Neither PD modality nor type of assistance were associated with peritonitis risk.CONCLUSIONS:In assisted PD, technique survival was not associated with PD modality. Nurse-assisted patients had a lower risk of transfer to HD than family assisted patients. Peritonitis risk was not influenced either by PD modality, or by type of assistance. Both APD and CAPD should be offered to assisted-PD patients

Effect of assistance on peritonitis risk in diabetic patients treated by peritoneal dialysis: report from the French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry
Home hemodialysis treatment and outcomes: retrospective analysis of the Knowledge to Improve Home Dialysis Network in Europe (KIHDNEy) cohort
Abstract Background Utilization of home hemodialysis (HHD) is low in Europe. The Knowledge to Improve Home Dialysis Network in Europe (KIHDNEy) is a multi-center study of HHD patients who have used a transportable hemodialysis machine that employs a low volume of lactate-buffered, ultrapure dialysate per session. In this retrospective cohort analysis, we describe patient factors, HHD prescription factors, and biochemistry and medication use during the first 6Â months of HHD and rates of clinical outcomes thereafter. Methods Using a standardized digital form, we recorded data from 7 centers in 4 Western European countries. We retained patients who completed â„6Â months of HHD. We summarized patient and HHD prescription factors with descriptive statistics and used mixed modeling to assess trends in biochemistry and medication use. We also estimated long-term rates of kidney transplant and death. Results We identified 129 HHD patients; 104 (81%) were followed for â„6Â months. Mean age was 49Â years and 66% were male. Over 70% of patients were prescribed 6 sessions per week, and the mean treatment duration was 15.0Â h per week. Median HHD training duration was 2.5Â weeks. Mean standard Kt/V urea was nearly 2.7 at months 3 and 6. Pre-dialysis biochemistry was generally stable. Between baseline and month 6, mean serum bicarbonate increased from 23.1 to 24.1Â mmol/L (Pâ=â0.01), mean serum albumin increased from 36.8 to 37.8Â g/L (Pâ=â0.03), mean serum C-reactive protein increased from 7.3 to 12.4Â mg/L (Pâ=â0.05), and mean serum potassium decreased from 4.80 to 4.59Â mmol/L (Pâ=â0.01). Regarding medication use, the mean number of antihypertensive medications fell from 1.46 agents per day at HHD initiation to 1.01 agents per day at 6Â months (Pâ<â0.001), but phosphate binder use and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dose were stable. Long-term rates of kidney transplant and death were 15.3 and 5.4 events per 100 patient-years, respectively. Conclusions Intensive HHD with low-flow dialysate delivers adequate urea clearance and good biochemical outcomes in Western European patients. Intensive HHD coincided with a large decrease in antihypertensive medication use. With relatively rapid training, HHD should be considered in more patients
Compensating patients in trials: Perspectives from an ethical committee versus sponsor
International audienceBackground: According to European clinical research legislation, no undue influence,including financial incentives, should be used to encourage participationin clinical trials. Financial compensation should be based on the inconvenienceexperienced by patients and is determined by the sponsor.Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the adequacy of patients'financial compensation by obtaining an external ethical opinion compared to theactual compensation provided.Methods: We randomly selected and reviewed 50 clinical drug trials, including25 academic and 25 industry-sponsoredstudies. An external ethics group consistingof three members from French ethics committees, blinded to the actualcompensation and the sponsor, retrospectively reviewed the study characteristicsand assessed whether financial compensation was appropriate. Cohen's Kappatest measured agreement between actual compensation and the ethics group'sopinion, and the McNemar test measured discrepancies.Results: There was no agreement between the actual financial compensationand the ethics group's opinion (K = â.07; 95% CI = [â.16â.02]). More discrepancieswere found in favour of financial compensation according to the ethics groupthan provided by sponsors (12 vs. 2, p = .016). The ethics group recommendedfinancial compensation in 12 out of 50 studies (24%), which were studies with ahigher number of additional visits (p = .004) and were more frequently sponsoredby industry (p = .008). Sponsors only provided financial compensation in 2 out of50 studies (4%).Conclusion: Patients are rarely compensated despite the perceived inconvenience.Both sponsors and ethics members struggle to determine the need for financialcompensation, indicating a need for more precise recommendations forboth parties
Is self-care dialysis associated with social deprivation in a universal health care system? A cohort study with data from the Renal Epidemiology and Information Network Registry
International audienceBackground - Socioeconomic status is associated with dialysis modality in developed countries. The main objective of this study was to investigate whether social deprivation, estimated by the European Deprivation Index (EDI), was associated with self-care dialysis in France. Methods - The EDI was calculated for patients who started dialysis in 2017. The event of interest was self-care dialysis 3âmonths after dialysis initiation [self-care peritoneal dialysis (PD) or satellite haemodialysis (HD)]. A logistic model was used for the statistical analysis, and a counterfactual approach was used for the causal mediation analysis. Results - Among the 9588 patients included, 2894 (30%) were in the most deprived quintile of the EDI. A total of 1402 patients were treated with self-care dialysis. In the multivariable analysis with the EDI in quintiles, there was no association between social deprivation and self-care dialysis. Compared with the other EDI quintiles, patients from Quintile 5 (most deprived quintile) were less likely to be on self-care dialysis (odds ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.93). Age, sex, emergency start, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, cancer, severe disability, serum albumin and registration on the waiting list were associated with self-care dialysis. The EDI was not associated with self-care dialysis in either the HD or in the PD subgroups. Conclusions - In France, social deprivation estimated by the EDI is associated with self-care dialysis in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing replacement therapy
