Patterns of hepatitis C prevalence and seroconversion in hemodialysis units from three continents: the DOPPS.

There are differences in HCV prevalence and rate of seroconversion at the country and the hemodialysis facility level and the observed variation suggests opportunities for improved HCV outcomes.

Predictors of early mortality among incident US hemodialysis patients in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).

Inadequate predialysis nephrology care was strongly associated with mortality during this period, highlighting the potential benefits of contact with a nephrologist at least 1 mo before HD initiation.

Atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients: clinical features and associations with anticoagulant therapy.

Atrial fibrillation is common and associated with elevated risk of adverse clinical outcomes, and this risk is even higher among elderly patients prescribed warfarin, particularly in those over 75 years of age.

Sleep quality predicts quality of life and mortality risk in haemodialysis patients: results from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).

Assessment and management of SQ should be an important component of care in haemodialysis patients and is independently associated with several QOL indices, medication use patterns and mortality.

Physical exercise among participants in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS): correlates and associated outcomes.

Results from an international study of haemodialysis patients indicate that regular exercise is associated with better outcomes in this population and that patients at facilities offering exercise programmes have higher odds of exercising.

Association of dialysate bicarbonate concentration with mortality in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).

High dialysate bicarbonate concentrations, especially prolonged exposure, may contribute to adverse outcomes, likely through the development of postdialysis metabolic alkalosis.

International variation in vitamin prescription and association with mortality in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).

Use of water-soluble vitamins is a minimal-risk practice pattern associated with improved outcomes in this prospective observational study of hemodialysis patients in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United States.

Diuretic use, residual renal function, and mortality among hemodialysis patients in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Pattern Study (DOPPS).

In patients with RRF, there may be benefit associated with continuing diuretic use rather than automatically discontinuing diUREtic therapy at dialysis initiation, and variation exists in facility practices of diurtic use.

Hemodialysis Patient Preference for Type of Vascular Access: Variation and Predictors across Countries in the DOPPS

Catheter preference was greatest among current and former catheter users, suggesting that one way to influence patient VA preference may be to avoid catheter use whenever possible.
