Abstract
Background: The dialysis treatment day after the 2-day interdialytic interval (Monday/Tuesday) is associated with a heightened risk of hospitalization for patients on in-center hemodialysis (ICHD). In this national cohort study, we sought to characterize hospitalizations by day of the week for patients receiving ICHD, home HD (HHD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD) and to identify whether there were differences in the probability of a Monday/Tuesday admission for each modality type. Methods: Patients on maintenance dialysis in Canada were analyzed from 2005 to 2014 using the Canadian Organ Replacement Register. Patients on hemodialysis were categorized as those receiving ICHD, HHD, frequent ICHD, or frequent HHD (the latter two included short daily and nocturnal HD). Hospitalizations were attributed to the previous treatment if they occurred within 30 days of a treatment change. Differences in the proportion of patients experiencing a Monday/Tuesday admission with all other days of the week were compared using a generalized linear model with binomial distribution and reported using adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% CIs. Results: Overall, 27,430 individuals experienced 111,748 hospitalization episodes. Rates per 1000 patient days were 3.76, 2.98, 2.71, 2.16, and 2.13 for each of frequent ICHD, ICHD, PD, HHD, and frequent HHD, respectively. Compared with those on ICHD, only patients receiving frequent HHD (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.81 to 0.97) and PD (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.93 to 0.97) had a lower odds of experiencing a Monday/Tuesday admission. The OR was lower when restricted to hospitalization episodes for cardiovascular reasons comparing frequent HHD with ICHD (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.96). Conclusion: In this nationally representative cohort, we identified that the probability of a Monday/Tuesday admission was lower for frequent HHD and PD compared with ICHD, most notably for hospitalizations due to cardiovascular causes. Gaining a better understanding of the reasons behind this observation may help to develop future strategies to reduce overall and cause-specific hospitalization for patients receiving dialysis.
