The purpose of this study is to evaluate which home dialysis modality pattern (home hemodialysis \[HHD\], peritoneal dialysis \[PD\] or a combination of both, e.g. PD and then HHD) allows for the longest home dialysis survival, as defined by the time dialysed in a home environment. The investigators hypothesize that patients transferred from one home modality to another will have a longer home dialysis survival compared to patients treated only with PD or HHD.

Home technique survival, censored for death
Home dialysis technique survival for each home dialysis modality, censored for patient death, transplantation and loss to follow-up
Time frame: survival analysis, specific analysis at 1,2 5 years after dialysis initiation
