Abstract
Despite low first-year mortality, incident PD patients had high morbidity, particularly within the first 3-6 months. Increased focus to identify patients at greatest risk for peritonitis and hospitalization, as well as evaluation of care processes and implementation of preventive strategies, is required. Access planning for transition to HD therapy needs more attention, even during the first PD year.
