“…All except two of the studies (Karlberg & Nyberg, 1995;Smith, et al, 1989) were based on retrospective unmatched cohort studies. Two studies addressed the efficiency of CAPD relative to hospital haemodialysis, (Karlberg & Nyberg, 1995;Huraib, et al, 1990), two also looked at renal transplantation (Tajima, et al, 1987;Sesso, et al, 1990), two included both home haemodialysis and renal transplantation (Croxson & Ashton, 1990;Karlberg & Nyberg, 1995), and one looked at CAPD, hospital haemodialysis, home haemodialysis and subsidiary unit haemodialysis (Smith, et al, 1989).The results are summarised in Table 43.…”
