7 Use of Home vs In-Center DialysisTotal Dialysis Population 466,607 The ESRD population in the Unites States continues to grow. At the end of 2013, there were 446,607 patients on dialysis, of which the majority were utilizing in-center hemodialysis with only 11.5% on some sort of home therapy. While the total numbers of home patients are continuing to grow, the percentages have remained steady over the last few years. Point prevalent counts for December 2013: Total Dialysis Population: 466,607 Home dialysis (PD and Home HD): 53,765 (11.5%) Home HD: 8,507 (1.8%) PD: 45,258 (9.0%) Reference: United States Renal Data Systems USRDS Annual Data Report: Epidemiology of Kidney Disease in the United States.

8 © 2016 Fresenius Medical Care. All Rights ReservedModalities by Country Percentage of Patients, by Modality for 2013 In contrast to the United States, the use of home therapies is higher in many European and Pacific countries. As shown here, Hong Kong has the highest percentage of PD patients at 71.8%; and New Zealand has the highest percentage of Home HD patients at 32.2%. This indicates that home therapies can be successfully applied to a large group of dialysis patients.

12 Higher Mortality During Treatment GapsDeaths are increased on Mondays and Tuesdays in conventional HD, especially cardiac-related deaths1-3 Intermittent renal replacement therapies, such as conventional, thrice weekly, in-center hemodialysis increases the risk of death following a two day break in treatment. As you can see here, mortality is highest on Monday for Mon, Wed, Fri dialyzing patients, and on Tuesday for Tues, Thurs, Sat dialyzing patients. More frequent treatments, such as frequent home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis may impact outcomes. A more recent observational study by Foley showed similar results.

13 Survival Probabilities of ModalitiesUSRDS 5-year survival probability (2008 cohort): All dialysis: 40.9% All hemodialysis: 40.2% Peritoneal dialysis: 50.6% Despite improvements in survival on dialysis over the years, only 40.2% of hemodialysis patients and 50.6% percent of peritoneal dialysis patients are alive 5 years after initiation of renal replacement therapy.

14 Improved Earlier Survival with PDPD: same or better survival than in-center HD long term. Initial survival benefit of PD might be due to many factors such as preservation of residual renal function and frequent HD catheter use In a recent propensity-matched comparison of incident HD and PD patients in a single, large managed care organization, PD survival was the same or better than HD, with significant differences between modalities only evidenced in the first 2-3 years following initiation of therapy2. Population-averaged adjusted patient survival for propensity score-matched hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients by method of analysis. The shaded areas reflect where the point-wise differences in the two survival curves differ (P<0.05). Study limitations: select population of patients that are not necessarily representative of the US Dialysis population. References: Kumar VA, Sidell MA, Jones JP, Vonesh EF.

15 Improved Survival with Home HDHome dialysis (peritoneal and HD) has similar survival outcomes to in-center HD (top). Home HD has significantly better survival compared to in-center HD and PD (bottom). Mortality risk compared to in-center HD: 53% lower risk with Home HD 20% lower risk with PD <3 years 33% higher risk with PD >3 years In a recent study, Marshall modeled survival of 6,419 patients with 3,254 deaths over 20,042 patient-years of follow-up. Patients treated with PD and facility HD are similar; those on home HD are younger and healthier. Compared to facility HD, home dialysis (as a unified category) associates with an overall 13% lower mortality risk. Home HD associates with a 52% lower mortality risk. PD associates with a 20% lower mortality risk in the early period (<3 years) that is offset by a 33% greater mortality risk in the late period (>3 years), with no overall net effect.

17 PD Mortality Depends on Center ExperienceA center's experience with PD strongly impact PD outcomes. Technique failure and mortality decrease with increased numbers of patients treated. With centers where more than 60% of patients were initiated with PD as the reference group, there was a trend to increased risk of death where PD was less likely to be the initiating modality. An even stronger impact was described for risk of technique failure (above slide) with a 75% increased risk of technique failure for those centers initiating less than 30% of patients on PD compared to those choosing PD for over 60% of patients.

19 PD vs. HD: HospitalizationsAdmissions per patient year: 1.74 HD* and 1.67 PD Hospital days per patient year: 11.2 HD* and 11.8 PD Adjusted hospitalization rates and days by modality Over the past decade, the frequency of hospital admissions and resulting number of hospital days for ESRD patients have declined gradually, but fairly consistently. As shown in Figure 5.1, in 2013, the adjusted rate of admission for hemodialysis (HD) patients decreased to 1.74 per patient year (PPY), as compared to 2.1 in 2005, which is a reduction of 19.0%. During that same period, rates for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients fell about 15.0% (1.67 in 2013 from 2.0 in 2005). Continuing a downward trend seen since 2005, the number of total hospital days per patient year among all dialysis patients has decreased, from 14.6 to From 2005 to 2013, hospital days PPY decreased to 11.2 for HD patients and 11.8 for PD patients. This data suggests that PD patients have fewer hospitalizations, but more hospital days, than their HD counterparts.

20 PD vs. HD: All-Cause and Cause-Specific Hospitalization RatesHospitalization rates have continued to decrease for both PD and HD* Adjusted all-cause & cause-specific hospitalization rates, by modality All-cause hospitalization rates among adult HD patients decreased by 17.5% (2.11 to 1.74 admissions per patient year) from 2005 to For peritoneal dialysis patients, the all-cause hospitalization rate decreased 17.7% (2.03 to 1.67 admissions per patient year) from 2005 to 2014. While the overall trends of decreasing hospitalization rates are encouraging, it is plausible that these global and cause-specific declines were influenced at least in part by changes in clinical care practices, CMS rules and terminology, and policies that emphasize greater utilization of ambulatory care services.

21 PD vs. HD: Cardiovascular DiseasePD patients are 20% less likely than HD* patients to have any cardiovascular comorbidity ESRD patients have a high burden of cardiovascular disease across a wide range of conditions. Stable atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) and congestive heart failure (CHF) are the two major leading cardiovascular diseases present in ESRD patients. However, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cerebrovascular accident/transient ischemic attack (CVA/TIA), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), atrial fibrillation (AFIB), sudden cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmias (SCA/VA) are also common. The prevalence of these cardiovascular diseases is highest among ESRD patients who receive hemodialysis followed by peritoneal dialysis References: United States Renal Data Systems USRDS Annual Data Report: Epidemiology of Kidney Disease in the United States.

24 Nephrologists see an Increased Role for Home ModalitiesPrescribers were asked to select an ideal mix of modalities that would maximize outcomes for 10 million patients Respondents in the US cohort felt that home therapies should be used in 45% of the population Nephrologists in the US and Canada have been recently polled regarding their opinions on the optimal utilization of HD and PD. Their opinions were mostly influenced by patient preference, quality of life, morbidity and mortality and not by reimbursement. In Canada, the actual vs expressed optimal utilization of modality are very close, while in the US they are markedly different. The results suggest that US nephrologists would support more PD and HHD, but have not. References: Mendelssohn DC, Mullaney SR, Jung B, Blake PG, Mehta RL.

31 Nephrologists are not Well Trained in Home TherapiesIn a survey of 67 nephrology fellows: 50% were from programs offering 3 or fewer months of exposure to outpatient hemodialysis 25% reported no exposure to PD Of more concern, 25% reported no "official rounds" with an attending nephrologist on dialysis patients In the US, nephrology training programs generally do not offer trainees sufficient exposure to care for HD and PD patients. A poll of second year nephrology fellows in the US (n = 67) revealed that 50% were from programs offering 3 or fewer months of exposure to outpatient HD and 25% reported no exposure to PD. Furthermore, 25% reported no formal rounds with an attending nephrologist on dialysis patients. If nephrologists are to take their appropriate place as leaders of the care delivery team, nephrology fellowships must be restructured with appropriate emphasis placed on the comprehensive care of ESRD and CKD patients.

45 Factors Patients Consider When Choosing ModalitiesData derived from six focus groups involving 27 patients and 18 relatives Modality Advantages Disadvantages In-center HD Feels secure (supervision by known professionals) Freedom from illness at home and on dialysis free days Socializing with staff and other patients Transport time to clinic Fixed dialysis time and no flexibility Limitations on holidays or family time Home HD Greater flexibility No travel time to a facility Better social life Possibility of continuing a career Possibility of night-time treatment Takes up space in the home and is unsightly Technical problems and noise Difficult to take equipment on holidays PD (all forms) Good for those who fear needles PD bags are heavy Reference: Lee A, Gudex C, Povlsen J V, Bonnevie B, Nielsen CP.

46 Factors for Nephrologists to Consider When Prescribing PDThe non-profit Medical Education Institute developed the MATCH-D for home dialysis to help nephrologists and dialysis staff identify and assess candidates for home dialysis therapies (namely PD and HHD). Column 1 (far left) creates triage criteria for patients who would likely be successful on home regimens. Column 2 (middle) suggests solutions to common home dialysis barriers. Column 3 (far right) describes contraindications for independent home treatment. Match-D also has a home hemodialysis brochure. We will discuss that in a later presentation.

47 Home HD and PD Programs are ComplementaryDoes a robust PD program hinder growth of HHD? Do HHD programs grow by cannibalizing PD? Not necessarily, both can grow simultaneously Educating patients about therapy choice is key “Wellbound model”- 83.5% PD, 16.6% HHD 986 patients referred for home therapy evaluation 45.8% (452) chose home therapy of which 79.2% (358/452) chose PD Wellbound Model: WellBound, a subsidiary of Satellite Healthcare, Inc., is the first healthcare services company to focus exclusively on self-care dialysis therapy options for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD).  The company’s unique expertise in pre-dialysis patient wellness education and personalized self-care training facilitates a higher quality of life and improved clinical outcomes for CKD patients, while enabling physician partners to expand the level of care they provide to CKD patients. WellBound has established a growing network of “Centers of Excellence” to deliver wellness education and the full spectrum of self-care dialysis options, including peritoneal dialysis and daily home hemodialysis.
