Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in Korea are increasing, and ESKD constitutes a very important medical and social issue. Elderly dialysis patients have the highest risk of early mortality within 3 months after initiating dialysis, and geriatric syndromes such as aging, frailty, functional impairment, and cognitive impairment are crucial for the prognosis of elderly patients. Shared decision-making (SDM) is an approach through which clinicians and patients can achieve informed preferences, thereby yielding better clinical outcomes and quality of life. Through SDM-based, close consultation among patients, families, and healthcare providers, an ESKD Life-Plan for elderly patients should be established. A multidisciplinary approach led by nephrologists can help them to provide proper vascular access for dialysis at the right time, with the right evidence, and to the right patient. Strategies that can improve peritoneal dialysis in elderly patients include assisted peritoneal dialysis, homecare support programs, and automated peritoneal dialysis. In order to enhance the role of kidney transplantation in elderly patients with ESKD, it is necessary to accurately identify patients' clinical conditions before transplantation and to perform active rehabilitation activities and postoperative management to promote recovery after transplantation. With the aging population and the increase in ESKD in the elderly, clinicians must identify factors affecting the mortality and quality of life of elderly dialysis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidemiological studies have shown contradictory results regarding the time trend of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in people with diabetes. This study aims to analyze the incidence of ESRD, defined as chronic renal replacement therapy (RRT), to investigate time trends among people with and without diabetes in Germany and to examine whether these patterns differ by age and sex. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The data were sourced from nationwide data pooled from two German branches of statutory health insurances covering ∼25 million inhabitants. We estimated age- and sex-standardized incidence rates (IRs) for chronic RRT among people with and without diabetes in 2010-2016 and the corresponding relative risks. Time trends were analyzed using Poisson regression. RESULTS We identified 73,638 people with a first chronic RRT (male 60.0%, diabetes 60.6%, mean age 71.3 years). The IR of chronic RRT among people with diabetes (114.1 per 100,000 person-years [95% CI 110.0-117.2]) was almost six times higher than among people without diabetes (19.6 [19.4-19.8]). A consistent decline in IR was observed among people with diabetes (3% annual reduction, P < 0.0001) for both sexes and all age classes. In contrast, no consistent change of IR was identified in people without diabetes. Only among women aged <40 years (P = 0.0003) and people aged ≥80 years (P < 0.0001) did this IR decrease significantly. CONCLUSIONS Incidence of chronic RRT remained significantly higher among people with diabetes. The IR decreased significantly in people with diabetes independent of age and sex. Time trends were inconsistent in people without diabetes.

Abstract
Objective: To study the impact of age, gender, and presence of diabetes (any type) on the risk of early deaths (180-day mortality) in patients starting long-term hemodialysis (HD) therapy.Design: Systematic review of the literature.Setting: Out-patient (non-hospitalized), community-based HD therapy world-wide.Participants: Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) starting long-term HD treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD).Methods: Medline and EMBASE were searched for studies published between 1/1/1985 and 12/31/2017. Observational studies involving adult subjects commencing HD were included. Data extracted included population characteristics and settings. In addition, patient or treatment related factors studied with reference to their relationship with the risk of early mortality were documented. The Quality in Prognosis Studies tool was used to assess risk of bias in individual studies. Findings were summarized, and a narrative account was drawn.Results: Included were 26 studies (combined population 1,098,769; representing 287,085 person-years of observation for early mortality). There were 17 cohort and 9 case-control studies. Risk of bias was low in 13 and high in a further 13 studies. Patients who died in the early period were older than those who survived. Mortality rates increased with advancing age. Female gender was associated with slightly increased early mortality rates in larger and higher quality studies. The available data showed conflicting results in relation to the association of diabetes and risk of early mortality.Conclusions: This systematic review evaluated the impact of key demographic and co-morbid factors on risk of early mortality in patients starting maintenance HD. The information could help in delivering more tailored prognostic information and planning of future interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on maintenance renal replacement therapy (RRT) have far lower life spans than those of the general population. No previous studies have been performed to assess the mortality of dialysis patients in the State of Qatar. We designed this study to assess the mortality of dialysis patients in Qatar and the impact of dialysis modality. METHODS All chronic ambulatory dialysis patients (both on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) between 2014 and 2016) were included in the study, whereas patients undergoing dialysis for less than 3 months were excluded. We reviewed patients' demographics, comorbidities, and general laboratory investigations through our electronic record system and collected and analyzed them. We identified patients who died during that period and compared them to those who survived. We performed a subanalysis for HD versus PD patients who died. RESULTS The total number of deceased dialysis patients was 164, with an overall crude mortality rate of 6.4%. They were significantly older than those who survived (p = 0.0001). The mortality rate was significantly higher in female than in male patients (51.2% and 38.9%, respectively) (p = 0.004) but significantly lower in PD than HD patients (1.36%, PD; 5.0%, HD; p = 0.007). It was also significantly higher in natives than in the expats (60.3% and 39.6%, respectively) (p = 0.0008); however, no significant differences were noted between deceased natives and expats in most demographic and laboratory characteristics. The most common cause of patient death was CVD (62 patients, 37.8%), followed by sepsis (44 patients, 26.8%). Diabetes, cerebrovascular accident, and dyslipidemia were more common in HD deceased patients than in PD patients (80.6%, 47%, and 59%, respectively, in HD patients vs 68.5%, 42%, and 31%, respectively, in PD patients). Albumin and potassium levels in deceased PD patients were significantly lower than in HD patients (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study found that the high-risk population had a significant mortality, which was higher in HD than PD patients. This is the first study to look at these outcomes in Qatar. We identified multiple mortality associated factors, such as comorbid conditions and old age. We believe that improving treatment and close monitoring for comorbid conditions in the dialysis population might improve survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors for in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis. INTRODUCTION AKI requiring dialysis is frequent in elderly and is associated with an increased intra-hospital mortality. With the growing number of older individuals among hospitalized patients with AKI demands a thorough investigation of the factors that contribute to their mortality to improve outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients older than 80 years, admitted due to AKI requiring dialysis between January 2016 and December 2017. Patients who need intensive-care units (ICU) admission were excluded. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 154 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 85.3 ± 4.0 years and 76 patients (49.4%) were male. The overall mortality rate was 26.6%. On the multivariate analysis, serum albumin (OR 0.42 [95% CI 0.21-0.85], p 0.016), C reactive protein/albumin ratio (OR 1.04 [95% CI 0.99-1.09], and renal function recovery (OR 018 [95% CI 0.49-0.65], p 0.009) were the factors associated with higher in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Lower albumin level, higher C reactive protein/albumin ratio at admission, and absence of renal function recovery are associated with increased in-hospital mortality's risk in elderly with acute kidney injury requiring dialysis.

Abstract
Objectives: In China, there are two major medical insurance models: the Urban Basic Medical Insurance (UBMI) and the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of the medical insurance type of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) with their survival. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the end-stage renal disease adult patients initiating HD between January 2010 and December 2014 in Zhejiang province, followed up through 31 December 2015. Patients who had received HD for over 3 months were separated into two groups, based on different medical insurance type. Demographic, clinical data, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. The survival rates were calculated by using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: A total of 6779 patients (59 ± 16 years old, 4331 males (63.9%)) with UBMI and 7177 (59 ± 16 years old, 3778 males (52.8%)) with NCMS enrolled from 226 hemodialysis units. Compared with UBMI group, patients with NCMS had a smaller percentage of hypertensive nephropathy, diabetes mellitus and arteriovenous fistula, faced with more problems in anemia, hypoalbuminemia and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 95.4, 84.4, and 74.1% in UBMI group, 93.1, 79.7, and 67.7% in NCMS group, respectively. Patients with NCMS showed higher all-cause mortality compared with UBMI (p < 0.001). In multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, NCMS was independently associated with higher mortality (AHR = 1.53; 95% CI 1.38 ∼ 1.68). Conclusions: The medical insurance model was independently associated with HD patient survival, NCMS was associated with increased mortality among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in China.

Abstract
Background: Body composition monitoring is the only clinically available method for distinguishing among the three body components. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body composition and all-cause mortality in Chinese hemodialysis patients and examine whether the lean tissue index (LTI) derived from body composition monitoring can accurately diagnose malnourished patients. Methods: Hemodialysis patients (n = 123) with nutritional and body composition assessment records in 2015 were examined. Body composition was assessed using a body composition monitor machine. Results: Fifty-seven patients (46.3%) had low LTI (LTI less than the 10th percentile of the respective normal distribution). Significant differences in the fat tissue index (FTI) were observed, with the low LTI group having a higher FTI (10.8 kg/m2 vs. 9.0 kg/m2, p= .007). The kappa coefficient of agreement between LTI and subjective global assessment (SGA) was 0.26 for the presence of malnutrition. During the mean observation period of 26.7 months, 20 of 123 (16.3%) patients died. Low LTI remained highly predictive of survival in the Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio: 3.24, 95% confidence interval 1.06–9.91, p= .04). Malnourishment defined by SGA predicted survival in the Kaplan–Meier analysis (log-rank χ2=4.05; p= .04) but not in the multivariate analysis. Conclusions: LTI is a predictor of mortality, and its predictive power was not affected when FTI, SGA, and hydration status were included in the multivariate analysis. However, SGA may not be adequate to identify patients at a risk of death among Chinese hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The timing of when to initiate dialysis for progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients has not been well established. There has been a strong trend for early dialysis initiation for these patients over the past decades. However, the perceived survival advantage of early dialysis has been questioned by a series of recent observational studies. The only randomized controlled trial (RCT) research on this issue found the all-cause mortality, comorbidities, and quality of life showed no difference between early and late dialysis starters. To better understand optimal timing for dialysis initiation, our research will evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferred dialysis initiation in a large Chinese population. METHODS The trial adopts a multicenter, cluster randomized, single-blind (outcomes assessor), and endpoint-driven design. Eligible participants are 18-80 years old, in stable CKD stages 4-5 (eGFR > 7 ml/min /1.73 m2), and with good heart function (NYHA grade I or II). Participants will be randomized into a routine or deferred dialysis group. The reference eGFR at initiating dialysis for asymptomatic patients is 7 ml/min /1.73 m2 (routine dialysis group) and 5 ml/min/1.73 m2 or less (deferred dialysis group) in each group. The primary endpoint will be the difference of all-cause mortality and acute nonfatal cerebro-cardiovascular events between the two groups. The secondary outcomes include hospitalization rate and other safety indices. The primary and secondary outcomes will be analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. DISCUSSION This study protocol represents a large, cluster randomized study evaluating deferred and routine dialysis intervention for an advanced CKD population. The reference eGFR to initiate dialysis for both treatment groups is targeted at less than 7 ml/min/1.73m2. With this design, we aim to eliminate lead-time and survivor bias and avoid selection bias and confounding factors. We acknowledge that the study has limitations. Even so, given the low-targeted eGFR values of both arms, this study still has potential economic, health, and scientific implications. This research is unique in that such a low targeted eGFR value has never been studied in a clinical trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial has been approved by ClinicalTrials.gov (Trial registration ID NCT02423655). The date of registration was April 22, 2015.

Abstract
Mortality rates are reported to be high soon after the commencement of maintenance HD for ESRD. Our aim was to estimate early mortality rates (deaths within 180 days of starting therapy), through a systematic review of literature, in this patient population. Medline and EMBASE were searched for publications between 1 January 1985 and 31 December 2017. Observational studies reporting deaths involving adults commencing HD were included. The Quality in Prognosis Studies tool was used to assess risk of bias in studies. Crude mortality rates (expressed in 100 person-years) and age-standardized mortality ratios (SMR) were calculated. Meta-analyses of these rates were conducted for studies with lowest risk of bias (i.e. highest quality). In total, 32 studies were included (combined population: 1 083 264) representing 283 277 person-years of observation; median follow-up: 90 days. Mortality rates ranged between 12.8 and 55.6 per 100 person-years. Cardiovascular causes accounted for the majority of early deaths. Meta-analysis of high-quality studies showed an overall crude mortality rate of 32.6 per 100 person-years (95% CI 32.4-32.8). This equates to 16.3% mortality in first 180 days of starting HD. Six high-quality studies contained sufficient data for calculation of SMR. Meta-analysis of SMRs showed that patients starting HD therapy sustain 8.8 times higher mortality rates compared to the general population. We have combined the results of high-quality studies to produce new estimates of early mortality rates after commencement of HD therapy. This information can help relay more reliable prognostic information to this patient population.

Abstract
Objective: In China, there are two major medical insurance models: the Urban Basic Medical Insurance (UBMI) and the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of the medical insurance type of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) with their survival. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the end-stage renal disease adult patients initiating HD between January 2010 and December 2014 in Zhejiang province, followed up through 31 December 2015. Patients who had received HD for over 3 months were separated into two groups, based on different medical insurance type. Demographic, clinical data, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. The survival rates were calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: A total of 6779 patients (59 ± 16 years old, 4331 males (63.9%)) with UBMI and 7177 (59 ± 16 years old, 3778 males (52.8%)) with NCMS enrolled from 226 hemodialysis units. Compared with UBMI group, patients with NCMS had a smaller percentage of hypertensive nephropathy, diabetes mellitus and arteriovenous fistula, faced with more problems in anemia, hypoalbuminemia and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 95.4%, 84.4%, and 74.1% in UBMI group, 93.1%, 79.7%, and 67.7% in NCMS group, respectively. Patients with NCMS showed higher all-cause mortality compared with UBMI (p < .001). In multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, NCMS was independently associated with higher mortality (AHR = 1.53; 95% CI 1.38 ∼ 1.68). Conclusions: The medical insurance model was independently associated with HD patient survival, NCMS was associated with increased mortality among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in China.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given that it is difficult to randomize end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients to either hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD), differences between these renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities are of major interest and remain controversial. METHODS All data on maintenance dialysis patients during 2009 to 2013 in the Renji Hospital in Shanghai, China and in the San Bortolo Hospital in Vicenza, Italy were selected. Patients who changed their therapy from HD to PD or PD to HD during this study were excluded. RESULTS 919 maintenance dialysis patients were included in the present study, including 509 patients on HD and 410 on PD. During the 5-year follow-up, mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher in HD patients. The level of serum HCO3- was significantly better in PD patients than in HD patients. Phosphate was significantly higher in HD patients than in PD patients. With respect to lipid metabolism, triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL were significantly higher in PD patients. Serum protein and albumin were higher in HD patients than in PD patients. Overall, 236 patients died (25.7%); 150 (16.3%) on HD and 86 (9.4%) on PD. The main cause of death in HD and PD patients was cerebral vascular disease and infection, respectively. After adjusting for dialysis vintage, the Kaplan-Meier patient survival was similar between HD and PD patients. CONCLUSIONS Based on 5 years of data, we demonstrate that lipid metabolism and nutritional status were better in HD patients. However, blood pressure control, acid-base balance, phosphate (P) control were better in PD patients. The main cause of death in HD and PD was cerebral vascular disease and infection, respectively. Considering the dialysis vintage, the Kaplan-Meier patient survival was similar between HD and PD patients.
