Differences in care burden of patients undergoing dialysis in different centres in the netherlands
ConclusionDifferences in care burden were observed between academic and other centres, with more time required for treatment in academic centres. Contribution of patient characteristics to the time difference was minimal. The only patient characteristics that predicted care time were previous transplantation, which reduced the time required, and gender, with women requiring more care time.
