To determine whether there is a difference in the allocation of types of dialysis to male and female patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Descriptive study.
Canada.
All patients registered with the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) whose treatment began between 1981 and 1991. Data were obtained for 19,732 patients, of whom 18,010 had sufficiently complete data and were being treated with either peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis 3 months after the diagnosis of ESRD.
Proportions of patients receiving peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis according to sex.
Significantly more male (58.1%) than female (50.8%) patients were receiving hemodialysis 3 months after diagnosis (p < 0.00001). Multivariate analysis to control for the possible confounding effects of age, province of treatment, diagnosis, concurrent illness and year of diagnosis did not explain the difference.
In Canada from 1981 to 1991 male patients were more likely than female patients to receive hemodialysis for the treatment of ESRD. Additional research is needed to explain this finding.
确定终末期肾病(ESRD)男性和女性患者在透析类型分配上是否存在差异。
描述性研究。
加拿大。
所有在加拿大器官替代登记处(CORR)登记且于1981年至1991年开始治疗的患者。获取了19732例患者的数据,其中18010例患者数据足够完整,且在ESRD诊断后3个月接受腹膜透析或血液透析治疗。
按性别划分接受腹膜透析和血液透析的患者比例。
诊断后3个月接受血液透析的男性患者(58.1%)显著多于女性患者(50.8%)(p < 0.00001)。对年龄、治疗省份、诊断、并发疾病和诊断年份可能存在的混杂效应进行多变量分析,未能解释这一差异。
1981年至1991年在加拿大,男性患者比女性患者更有可能接受血液透析治疗ESRD。需要进一步研究来解释这一发现。
