What is it about?
This study demonstrated PD first policy under UCS as a worthwhile investment, not only for ESRD patients and their caregivers but also for the NHSO who funded the policy. It demonstrated that this policy could generate a positive social return on investment as CAPD patients had a good quality of life, not being the burden of society and willing to go under kidney transplantation in the future.
