Risk of Death among Dialysis Patients Treated at Hospital-Affiliated versus Free-Standing Facilities in the United States.
Abstract
Receipt of dialysis at hospital-affiliated facilities was associated with a higher risk of mortality compared with treatment at free-standing dialysis facilities. The differential mortality risk in free-standing versus hospital-affiliated facilities was more pronounced in non-Hispanic Black and Asian patients compared with other racial/ethnic groups.
