Survival improvements for Europeans with ESKD.

Excess end-stage kidney disease-related mortality rates have decreased substantially over time among adults recorded in the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry, with the largest relative decreases in the youngest adults and the largest absolute decreases in the oldest adults. While improvements were observed among patients of all ages being treated with dialysis, patients with kidney transplants showed no clear improvements, and those ≥65 years old showed a worrying increase in excess mortality over time.
