Hemodialysis vs. peritoneal dialysis: A comparison of adjusted mortality rates
Am J Kidney Dis (Sep) 30:334-342 1997
There has been some panic in the US among PD supporters with the report of the USRDS that mortality in PD patients is worse than in hemodialysis patients. In Canada, however, as reported here, the results are exactly the opposite. The divergent results are probably due to subtle biases in patient selection operative in both countries. (Daugirdas)
