Outcome Comparisons Between XXXX on Peritoneal Dialysis With and Without @entity8 : A Nationwide Matched Cohort Study.

@entity1 @entity8 @entity204 @entity298 @entity454
UNASSIGNED: @entity8 ( @entity8 ) is the most common hereditary cause of @entity454 . The complications associated with this disease may affect the performance of @entity298 ( @entity298 ). The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes between @entity1 on @entity298 with @entity8 and without @entity8 .We extracted an incident cohort of adult (>= 20 years old) @entity1 on long-term @entity298 from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. @entity1 with @entity8 were identified by specific diagnosis codes. We recorded baseline comorbidities, socioeconomic status, timing of referral to a nephrologist, prior hemodialysis history before @entity298 , and the type of @entity298 modalities. We compared the risk of @entity204 , technique failure, @entity298 , hospitalization, and outpatient visiting as well as overall medical expenditure between the @entity1 with @entity8 and a groups of @entity1 without @entity8 who were propensity-score matched (1:3). The analysis was carried out by various Cox regression models that considered competing risk and time-varying coefficients.We enrolled 139 @entity1 with @entity8 and 7739 @entity1 without @entity8 who started long-term @entity298 between 1999 and 2010. @entity1 with @entity8 were less comorbid and more often treated with automated @entity298 . In the propensity-score matched analysis, both overall survival and technique survival did not differ between the @entity1 and the result was similar for hospitalization and @entity298 after adjusting for the application of automated @entity298 . Furthermore, the overall annual medical expenditures were similar between the @entity1 with and without @entity8 . @entity298 @entity1 with @entity8 are comparable to @entity298 @entity1 without @entity8 in terms of risk of @entity204 , @entity298 , technique failure, and hospitalization in the present study. Furthermore, the medical expenses of the 2 groups after initiation of @entity298 are also indistinguishable.
