How does organisational culture facilitate uptake of home dialysis? An ethnographic study of kidney centres in England (2024)
Journal Article
Allen, K., Shaw, K. L., Spry, J. L., Dikomitis, L., Coyle, D., Damery, S., …Davies, S. (2024). How does organisational culture facilitate uptake of home dialysis? An ethnographic study of kidney centres in England. BMJ Open, 14(12), https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2024-085754

Objective: The proportion of people having home dialysis for kidney disease varies considerably by treating centre, socioeconomic deprivation levels in the area and to some extent ethnicity. This study aimed to gain in-depth insights into cultural an... Read More about How does organisational culture facilitate uptake of home dialysis? An ethnographic study of kidney centres in England.

The future of peritoneal dialysis (2024)
Journal Article
Davies, S. (in press). The future of peritoneal dialysis. Clinical Kidney Journal, 17(Supplement_2), 9-18. https://doi.org/10.1093/ckj/sfae277

Peritoneal dialysis (PD), long established as the leading form of home dialysis, has comparatively good 5-year outcomes and cost-utility analyses have consistently demonstrated benefits to both patients and payers. Future improvements should still be... Read More about The future of peritoneal dialysis.

Centre-level fluid management practices in the BISTRO trial and their lack of association with participant fluid status and blood pressure in non-anuric haemodialysis patients (2024)
Journal Article
Johal, N., Sharma, R., Belcher, J., Coyle, D., Lindley, E. J., Keane, D., …Davies, S. J. (2024). Centre-level fluid management practices in the BISTRO trial and their lack of association with participant fluid status and blood pressure in non-anuric haemodialysis patients. BMC Nephrology, 25(1), Article 398. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-024-03837-y

Introduction: Fluid assessment and management is a key aspect of good dialysis care and is affected by patient-level characteristics and potentially centre-level practices. In this secondary analysis of the BISTRO trial we wished to establish whether...

Journal Article
Worthington, J., Soundy, A., Frost, J., Rooshenas, L., MacNeill, S. J., Realpe Rojas, A., …Caskey, F. J. (2024). Preparing for responsive management versus preparing for renal dialysis in multimorbid older people with advanced chronic kidney disease (Prepare for Kidney Care): Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial. Trials, 25(1), 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-024-08509-8

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence is steadily increasing, in part due to increased multimorbidity in our aging global population. When progression to kidney failure cannot be avoided, people need unbiased information to inform decis...

Impact of the Preservation of Residual Kidney Function on Hemodialysis Survival: Results from the BISTRO Trial (2024)
Journal Article
Belcher, J., Coyle, D., Lindley, E. J., Keane, D., Caskey, F. J., Dasgupta, I., …Davies, S. J. (2024). Impact of the Preservation of Residual Kidney Function on Hemodialysis Survival: Results from the BISTRO Trial. Kidney360, https://doi.org/10.34067/kid.0000000596

Preservation of residual kidney function (RKF) in dialysis patients has been associated with improved survival. RKF in the BISTRO trial was relatively well preserved and here we describe its association with survival during the trial and extended fol...
