TL;DR
Remote management could potentially influence health care provider decisions about patient suitability for PD, while patients/care partners prioritized pre-emptive and early treatment adjustments.
Abstract
Participants welcomed technological advances such as remote management for PD, although priorities differed by stakeholder group. Remote management could potentially influence health care provider decisions about patient suitability for PD, while patients/care partners prioritized pre-emptive and early treatment adjustments. Currently, decisions about access to remote management are outside the control of patients and families, but this may change with more widespread use.

Despite hazard ratio heterogeneity across patient subgroups and nonconstant hazard ratios during the follow-up period, the overall intention-to-treat mortality risk after dialysis initiation was 8% lower for peritoneal dialysis than for matched hemodialysis patients, suggesting that increased use of peritoneAL dialysis may benefit incident ESRD patients.

Comparing survival among incident peritoneal dialysis patients to matched hemodialysis patients who received pre-dialysis care, including permanent dialysis access placement, found that PD favored for almost up to 3 years of follow-up in the as-treated analysis and nearly 2 years of stay in the intent-to-treat analysis with no differences thereafter.
