Abstract
Previous comparisons of the survival of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the US with Europe and Japan indicated worse survival outcomes for the US, with adjustment for differences in age and diabetes [1]. A similar set of survival comparisons between Japan and the US was presented at a recent conference in New York [2] (April 26, 1993) for a newer cohort of incident patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis (HD). This report summarizes the results of those across-country comparisons, with added consideration given to the expected survival of dialysis patients compared to the expected survival of the general population in both societies.
