Description
Yaohua Hu and co-authors compared in 2025 two dialysis routes for patients aged seventy-five and older. End-stage kidney disease is rising among the very old, and whether hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis serves them better was unclear. The cohort covered 234 patients across six hospitals in China, treated between 2013 and 2020. Matching methods balanced the two groups so the comparison was fair.
After matching, fifty-six patients remained in each group, averaging about eighty years old. Survival curves for the two treatments overlapped, with no significant difference. Excluding patients who died within three months changed nothing. Adjusted risk estimates also sat near parity. The authors conclude neither method showed a survival edge in this age group. Choice can therefore rest more on patient life and preference.
