A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 66 end-stage renal disease patients who underwent high-efficiency hemodiafiltration technique in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between 2001-2013 to determine the survival rate as well as other long-term outcome.
Growing evidences suggested the superiority of high-efficiency hemodiafiltration (HDF) which could provide both diffusion and convection in a single therapy compared with the conventional hemodialysis. However, the long-term, upto 10 years, outcome still limited. This retrospective cohort study was conducted in 66 end-stage renal disease patients who underwent high-efficiency hemodiafiltration technique in a single-center, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, between 2001-2013 to determine the survival rate as well as other long-term outcome
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
66
Hemodiafiltration treatments were prescribed to the patients as their long-term renal replacement therapies
King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital
Pathumwan, Bangkok, Thailand
Survival rate
The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and mean survival time will be demonstrated for primary outcome.
Time frame: 10 years
Comparison of survival differences between patients who start renal replacement therapy with HDF and who switched from hemodialysis as well as between diabetic and non-diabetic patient.
Survival differences between groups will be evaluated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. The comparative groups include: * Patient who start renal replacement therapy with HDF (incident cases) vs. who switched from hemodialysis (prevalence cases) * Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic patients
Time frame: 10 years
Factors that associated with all-cause mortality
univariate and multivariate analysis the factors that might affected the long-term outcomes. The factors include dialytic parameters (spKt/Vurea, TAC urea), nutritional parameters (nPNA, albumin), inflammatory parameter (hsCRP), and biochemical parameters (BUN, Cr, Ca, Phosphate, iPTH, beta2-microglobulin, Hb, Ferritin, Transferrin saturation, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL, and LDL)
Time frame: 10 years
