Francesca Tentori,Margaret J. Blayney,Justin M. Albert,Brenda W. Gillespie,Peter G. Kerr,Jürgen Bommer,Eric W. Young,Tadao Akizawa,Takashi Akiba,Ronald L. Pisoni,Bruce M. Robinson,Friedrich K. Port +11 more
TL;DR: The results provide important information about mineral metabolism trends in hemodialysis patients in 12 countries during a decade and may be relevant to efforts at international harmonization of existing clinical guidelines for mineral metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Comorbid Conditions and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients in Europe, Japan, and the United States: The Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS)
David A. Goodkin,Jennifer L. Bragg-Gresham,Karl G. Koenig,Robert A. Wolfe,Takashi Akiba,Vittorio E. Andreucci,Akira Saito,Hugh C. Rayner,Kiyoshi Kurokawa,Friedrich K. Port,Philip J. Held,Eric W. Young +11 more
TL;DR: Variability in demographic and comorbid conditions (as identified by dialysis facilities) explains only part of the differences in mortality between dialysis centers, both for comparisons made across continents and within the US.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors and consequences of altered mineral metabolism: The Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study
Eric W. Young,Justin M. Albert,Sudtida Satayathum,David A. Goodkin,Ronald L. Pisoni,Takashi Akiba,Tadao Akizawa,Kiyoshi Kurokawa,Jürgen Bommer,Luis Piera,Friedrich K. Port +10 more
TL;DR: This study expands the understanding of the relationship between altered mineral metabolism and outcomes and identifies several potential opportunities for improved practice in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of hepatitis C prevalence and seroconversion in hemodialysis units from three continents: The DOPPS
Rachel B. Fissell,Jennifer L. Bragg-Gresham,John D. Woods,Michel Jadoul,Brenda W. Gillespie,Sara A. Hedderwick,Hugh C. Rayner,Roger Greenwood,Takashi Akiba,Eric W. Young +9 more
TL;DR: There are differences in HCV prevalence and rate of seroconversion at the country and the hemodialysis facility level and the observed variation suggests opportunities for improved HCV outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular access use and outcomes: an international perspective from the dialysis outcomes and practice patterns study
Jean Ethier,David C. Mendelssohn,Stacey J. Elder,Takeshi Hasegawa,Tadao Akizawa,Takashi Akiba,Bernard Canaud,Ronald L. Pisoni +7 more
TL;DR: Patients consistently were less likely to use an AVF versus other VA types if female, of older age, having greater body mass index, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease or recurrent cellulitis/gangrene, and countries with a greater prevalence of diabetes in HD patients had a significantly lower percentage of patients using anAVF.
