Methods: Using a retrospective 15-year cohort, stratified by age, this study aimed to analyze the effect of dialysis modality on mortality of ESRD patients in a city of China. Study data were from the medical insurance information system of Kunshan, Jiangsu Province of China, and 1484 patients with ESRD, enrolled from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2019 were included in this study. The primary outcome event was all-cause mortality, which was calculated in months. Dialysis modalities included hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Survival analysis and competing-risk regression model were performed in this study.
Results: HD costs significantly higher medical expense than the PD treatment regimen. The mean survival time was 121.28 (SE = 3.020) months for HD patients, while that was 94.68 (SE = 3.534) months for the PD. Ten-year survival rates of the young, middle-aged, and elderly were 0.82, 0.56, and 0.26, respectively. For the young (SHR = 0.869, 95% CI: 0.525-1.436) and middle-aged (SHR = 0.715, 95% CI: 0.484-1.057) ESRD patients, different dialysis modalities exhibited no statistical significance on the survival, but for the elderly, HD had a lower risk of mortality than PD (SHR = 0.747, 95% CI: 0.581-0.961).
Conclusion: Survival of the young and middle-aged ESRD patients was superior to that of the elderly. Considering both survival time and direct medical costs, we recommend that PD could be a better choice for young and middle-aged ESRD patients, while HD may be suitable for older patients.

Patients in need of a kidney transplant have the option of receiving a kidney from a living donor or a deceased donor. Patients in the United States who do not have an available living donor typically wait on the deceased donor waiting list for an average of three to five years, although some patients may wait longer. The waiting list is very complex and intended to allocate kidneys in a fair and equitable manner.

Background: Although conventional pre-operative venography can accurately delineate venous anatomy as an alternative to ultrasound for hemodialysis access planning, it may carry a risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and progression of renal failure in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients not yet on dialysis. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pre-operative venograms in pre-end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study (2018-2022) of consecutive pre-ESKD patients who underwent staged bilateral venograms for preoperative vein mapping prior to hemodialysis access creation at a tertiary care medical center.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are at high risk for coronary artery disease. We investigate the trends and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) in patients with ESKD.
Methods: We utilized the United States Renal Data System [2010-2018] to include adult patients with ESKD on dialysis for at least 3 months who underwent PCI for SIHD.

Background And Objective: Several studies have examined the predictors of mortality among COVID-19-infected patients; however, to date, few published studies focused on end-stage renal disease patients. The present study, therefore, aims to determine the predictors of in-hospital mortality among end-stage renal disease patients with COVID-19 admitted to a Philippine tertiary hospital.
Methods: The researcher utilized a retrospective cohort design.

Background: The global resurgence of disseminated tuberculosis (TB) after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic highlights the necessity of understanding host risk factors, especially in adults without human immunodeficiency virus.
Methods: We reviewed TB cases admitted to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from 2017 to 2022. We analyzed baseline characteristics and outcomes.
