Mortality, hospital admissions, and medical costs of end-stage renal disease in the United States and Manitoba, Canada.
Med Care. 1997; (7): 686-700
National registry data suggest that mortality rates among patients with end-stage renal disease are lower in Canada than in the United States. Casemix and treatment variables, although limited in such instances, do not explain this difference. Using a more complete set of casemix and treatment variables from clinical databases, this study assesses mortality, hospital admission, and the cost of medical care for patients with end-stage renal disease treated in Manitoba, Canada and the United States.
