Abstract EN
The prospective observational Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) was initiated in late 2012 in national samples of hemodialysis (HD) units (n = 41 study sites) in all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates).
For many years, guidelines have recommended single pool Kt/V ≥1.2 as the minimum adequate dose for chronic HD patients.
Here, we report initial DOPPS results regarding HD practices related to dialysis dose achievement in the GCC.
A total of 928 adult HD patients were included in this analysis from 41 centers representing all six GCC countries.
Baseline descriptive statistics (e.g., mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile range, or percentage) were calculated for the study sample.
Results were weighted according to the fraction of HD patients sampled within each participating study site.
Mean age varied between 51 years in Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, 55 years in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait, and 62 years in Qatar.
Mean body mass index (BMI) was the lowest in Oman patients (23.9 kg/m2), but the
