Original Source: Economic consequences of an increased number of patients on outgoing dialysis.
Abstract Objective. During the past 10 years the number of prevalent patients on dialysis treatment has doubled in Denmark and the number is expected to increase further. The majority of Danish patients on dialysis receive haemodialysis at a hospital-based centre, and increasing patient numbers will put pressure on these dialysis centres. In order to reduce this pressure, more patients will need to be offered dialysis as outgoing treatment. The aim of this study was to analyse the economic consequences of a...
