Bitar W, Helve J, Honkanen E, et al. - Similar survival was observed for patients receiving home hemodialysis (HD) vs those on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), and both groups exhibited comparable characteristics.

• Intention-to-treat analysis of adult patients who received kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and were on one of the home dialysis modalities at 90 days from initiating KRT.

• Likelihood of surviving 5 years was 90%, 88% and 56% for home HD, APD, and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, respectively.

• Post-adjustment for propensity score, the hazard ratio of death was 1.1 for APD and 1.6 for CAPD vs home HD.

• Higher median age, more comorbidities, and less frequent receipt of kidney transplantation were noted in CAPD patients.
