Key Points: We observed a comparable cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in in-center hemodialysis (IC-HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, which was higher than in automated PD and home hemodialysis patients. After adjustment for confounders, there was no difference in risk of MACE between patients on home dialysis modalities and IC-HD. Compared with IC-HD, PD was associated with lower risk of MACE among female patients and higher risk among male patients.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 on the incidence of KRT, kidney transplantation activity, mortality and prevalence of KRT across Europe.
Methods: Patients receiving KRT were included from 17 countries providing data to the European Renal Association Registry.
Article Synopsis
- Preemptive kidney transplantation leads to better outcomes than post-dialysis transplants, and this study analyzed trends in Europe from 2000 to 2019.
- A total of 20,251 adults received preemptive kidney transplants, with the percentage of these transplants increasing from 7% to 18% over the 19 years.
- Barriers to increasing preemptive transplants include donor shortages and late referrals, while suggestions to improve rates involve raising awareness and streamlining the donor and recipient work-up processes.
