Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in the UK, noting disparities in their adoption.
- There were 372 patients analyzed, with APD patients being generally younger and less dependent than CAPD patients, but findings showed that comorbidities affected technique survival, negating any clear advantage of APD.
- After one year, health status improvements were similar for both modalities, suggesting neither APD nor CAPD provided significant benefits in terms of technique survival or quality of life.
