Abstract
Three of the 5 LDOs had consistently lower PD use. Patients treated in the LDO with the lowest use of PD had the greatest risk of death. Understanding relationships among providers, physicians, and dialysis modality use may help devise strategies for increasing PD use in appropriate patients. This has the potential to reduce the cost of renal replacement therapy and further improve outcomes.
