Background For 10 consecutive years, the ESPN/ERA-EDTA Registry has included data on children with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD 5) receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in Europe. We examined trends in incidence and prevalence of KRT and patient survival. Methods We included all children aged Results Incidence of children commencing KRT Conclusions We found a stable incidence and increasing prevalence of European children on KRT 2007-2016. Five-year patient survival was good and was unchanged over time. These data can inform patients and healthcare providers and aid health policy makers on future resource planning of pediatric KRT in Europe., Author(s): Marjolein Bonthuis [sup.1] , Enrico Vidal [sup.2] , Anna Bjerre [sup.3] , Özlem Aydog [sup.4] , Sergey Baiko [sup.5] , Liliana Garneata [sup.6] , Isabella Guzzo [sup.7] , James [...]
