Home versus in-centre haemodialysis for people with kidney failure.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
April 2024
Background: Home haemodialysis (HHD) may be associated with important clinical, social or economic benefits. However, few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated HHD versus in-centre HD (ICHD). The relative benefits and harms of these two HD modalities are uncertain.

It is unclear whether this association occurs in patients on hemodialysis, in whom high fruit and vegetable intake is generally discouraged because of a potential risk of hyperkalemia. We aimed to evaluate the association between fruit and vegetable intake and mortality in hemodialysis.

- A study was conducted to evaluate how different dietary patterns impact survival rates among adults undergoing hemodialysis, focusing specifically on cardiovascular and overall mortality.
- The research involved 8,110 participants from a multinational dialysis network and identified two main dietary patterns: "fruit and vegetable" and "Western".
- Results showed that a higher adherence to the "fruit and vegetable" pattern was associated with lower risks of both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality compared to the "Western" pattern, indicating that diet can play a significant role in patient outcomes.
Background: Chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for oral diseases, which may be associated with premature death. We evaluated the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with oral mucosal lesions in adults with kidney failure treated with long-term haemodialysis.
Methods: Oral mucosal lesions (herpes, ulceration, neoformation, white lesion, red lesion, oral candidiasis, geographical tongue, petechial lesions, and fissured tongue) were evaluated within the Oral Diseases in Haemodialysis (ORAL-D) study, a multinational cohort study of 4726 haemodialysis adults.
