[Demographic development and methods of treatment for end stage chronic uremia in aged patients over 65 years in France during the 1980's. Committee of the EDTA Registry].
The data that constitute the basis for this analysis come from the files of all the French patients over 65 years registered on the EDTA-ERA Registry between 1980 and 1990. The percentage of these patients treated by regular dialysis, which was of 14% in 1980 has increased to 24% in 1989. Most of these patients are treated by centre hemodialysis. Survival has significantly improved: in 1984 the mortality reached 54.4% at three years in patients aged 65-75 and 44.4% in the over 75 years group.
