Atlas de variaciones sistemáticas en el tratamiento sustitutivo renal en Cataluña (2002-2012)

Although there was a notable rise in PD and early KT incidence rates, PD is still underused when compared to international recommendations. No territorial variability was found for HD or KT, but the use of PD was found to be higher in Lérida than in other areas. To reduce PD territorial variability and increase the uptake of this technique in the other regions, we propose 3 initiatives: The development of RRT support tools for shared decision-making, the encouragement of specific PD professional training and the promotion of PD through complementary reimbursement systems.
