Equivalent Fall Risk in Elderly Patients on Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract: ♦ Background: Accidental falls are common in the hemodialysis (HD) population. The high fall rate has been attributed to a combination of aging, kidney disease-related morbidity, and HD treatment-related hazards. We hypothesized that patients maintained on peritoneal dialysis (PD) would have fewer falls than those on chronic HD. The objective of this study was to compare the falls risk between cohorts of elderly patients maintained on HD and PD, using prospective data from a large academic dialysis facility.

“…In this respect, studies point out a 47% rate of episodes of falls. (18) These facts support its importance in the instrument, so each institution is able to record and identify its main causes of falls and, from then on, carry out interventions.…”

“…Equally, there appear to be minimal differences in QoL based on cross‐sectional studies of patients on peritoneal and hemodialysis in the Broadening Options for Long‐term Dialysis in the Elderly (BOLDE) and FEPOD studies . Moreover, important markers of frailty such as falls risk do not appear to differ between modalities in a small study …”

“…28 Moreover, important markers of frailty such as falls risk do not appear to differ between modalities in a small study. 37 As a result there are no clear reasons for choosing one modality over another, although both are associated with modality-specific benefits and disadvantages in the elderly. 34 Guidelines already exist emphasizing the need for education in dialysis modality selection with patient preference paramount in decision making.…”
