  • Association of Incident Dialysis Modality with Mortality: a Protocol for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials and Cohort Studies Mark R
    Marshall et al. Systematic Reviews (2019) 8:55 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-019-0972-1 PROTOCOL Open Access Association of incident dialysis modality with mortality: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies Mark R. Marshall1,2,3* , Chun-Yuan Hsiao2, Philip K. Li4, Masaaki Nakayama5,6, S. Rabindranath7, Rachael C. Walker8, Xueqing Yu9,10 and Suetonia C. Palmer11 Abstract Background: At least 2.6 million adults and children receive dialysis treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. The large majority of these receive hemodialysis (HD), while the remaining receive peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal dialysis may be associated with similar mortality outcomes as HD, and patient-reported outcomes are potentially increased with PD. Existing evidence for the mortality associated with PD was summarized over 20 years ago, and there has been greater marginal improvement in survival with PD relative to HD since that time. It is therefore timely to reexamine the question of differential mortality by modality and summarize evidence from more contemporary practice settings. Methods/design: Electronic databases will be systematically searched for publications that report the association between dialysis modality (HD or PD) with death from any cause and cause-specific death in incident patients with end-stage kidney disease. The database searches will be supplemented by searching through citations and references and consultation with experts. Studies published before 1995 will be excluded. Screening of both titles and abstracts will be done by two independent reviewers. All disagreements will be resolved by an independent third reviewer. A quantitative meta-analysis of effect sizes and standard errors will be applied.
