Since the emergence of peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a widely used, feasible, and successful home-based therapy in the 1980s, there has inevitably been interest in comparing outcomes on this modality with those on hemodialysis (HD). Many studies have been done comparing costs of treatment, quality of life, and hospitalization and results have been variable [1–12]. Most important and most controversial, however, have been the studies that have attempted to compare patient survival on PD to that on HD [13–27].
