In-hospital outcomes by peritoneal versus hemodialysis inpatient procedure coding in adults with end-stage kidney disease: a 2021 National Inpatient sample study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 152,055 people with end-stage kidney disease who were in the hospital. It compared those on peritoneal dialysis with those on hemodialysis. The group on peritoneal dialysis had shorter hospital stays and lower total costs. This shows a link between dialysis type and hospital spending, but it does not prove one causes the other.
