Survival rates of patients treated by home and hospital dialysis and cadaveric renal transplantation. 1970

J F Moorhead, and R A Baillod, and J P Hopewell, and A H Knight, and R E Crockett, and O N Fernando, and Z Varghese

Of 109 patients admitted to the renal failure programme of the Royal Free Hospital 80.7% were surviving after six years. For patients on home dialysis the four-year rate was 86.2%, more deaths occurring in women than in men. The short-term survival rate of all patients was high-namely, 96.3% at six months and 94.4% at 12 months. Hence large increases in the rate of acceptance of patients as well as successful transplantation are necessary to balance acceptance and loss from this programme.
