Aim
We used insurance claims data of Taiwan to compare the risk of non‐traumatic lower extremity amputation between haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
Methods
We identified 77 669 HD patients and 10 035 PD patients without prior amputation from 2000 to 2010. Incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) of lower extremity amputation, and subsequent 30‐day mortality after amputation...
Aim
The study evaluated the risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHR) in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing dialysis
Methods
We identified 18 905 patients newly diagnosed with ESRD, comprising 6382 patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and 12 523 patients on hemodialysis (HD) using Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims data from 2000 to 2010. A total of 76 520 controls...
AimIt remains unclear whether long‐term daily icodextrin use can decrease technique failure and improve survival in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

MethodsIncident PD patients who survived more than 90 days were recruited from...
