Remote patient monitoring-automated peritoneal (RPM-APD): RPM-APD refers to peritoneal dialysis performed at home using an APD cycler, with the prescription, treatment process, monitoring, and management conducted via a remote management system.
Manual peritoneal dialysis (PD) cohort: Manual PD refers to home-based dialysis exchange therapy performed by the patient/caregiver according to the physician's prescription without the use of automated equipment.
Maintenance hemodialysis (HD): Maintenance HD refers to conventional hemodialysis therapy performed by professional staff in a dialysis center/hemopurification unit, initiated after the induction dialysis period.
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational real-world study designed to evaluate clinical effectiveness, quality of life, and healthcare resource utilization in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) initiating dialysis therapy in China.
Participants will be grouped according to the dialysis modality selected through routine clinical practice and shared decision-making with their treating physicians: remote patient monitoring-assisted automated peritoneal dialysis (RPM-APD), manual peritoneal dialysis (PD), or maintenance hemodialysis (HD). No study-specific interventions will be assigned.
The study will compare outcomes across these cohorts, including quality of life, social reintegration, clinical outcomes (e.g., complications and survival), and healthcare resource utilization. Propensity score matching will be applied to adjust for baseline differences between cohorts.
