“…Despite significant differences in patient characteristics from the three centers including age, comorbidities or type of dialysis, no differences were found on the prevalence of the various PROMs, in favor of internally coherent results. The study population was not matching with the population profile of the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) [30][31][32] and consequently, in terms of comorbidities, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and cancer comorbidities the prevalence were higher in our study population. Contrarily, prevalence of diabetes and cerebrovascular disease were lower compared to REIN.…”
