Background/Aims: Dialysis providers frequently collect detailed longitudinal and standardized patient data, providing valuable registries of routine care. However, even large organizations are restricted to certain regions, limiting their ability to separate effects of local practice from the pathophysiology shared by most dialysis patients.
