The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3></div><div id="ch3.s1.9"><h3>1.9. Interpreting the evidence</h3><div id="ch3.s1.9.1"><h4>1.9.1. The outcomes that matter most</h4><p>The committee considered quality of life, mortality, and time to failure of RRT modalities to be critical outcomes and hospitalisation, preferred place of death, symptom scores and functional measures, psychological distress and mental wellbeing, cognitive impairment, experience of care, growth, malignancy, infections, vascular access issues, dialysis access issues and acute transplant rejection episodes to be important outcomes.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.9.2"><h4>1.9.2. The quality of the evidence</h4><p>No evidence was identified for children under the age of 18 or adults over the age of 70. No evidence was identified for the majority of possible sequences of treatment.</p><p>The only identified evidence was very low quality due to a combination of the non-randomised study design and other sources of risk of bias.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.9.3"><h4>1.9.3. Benefits and harms</h4><p>The comparison between transplanting after HD and transplanting after PD showed no clinically important difference for the two reported included outcomes (mortality and graft failure). The committee agreed that this was broadly consistent with their experience.</p><p>The comparison between pre-emptive transplant with a failing transplant and transplant after dialysis with a failing transplant showed no clinically important difference for mortality but a clinically important harm of pre-emptive transplant for graft failure. The committee noted that this somewhat contradicted the general benefits of pre-emptive first transplant. While the included study did adjust for the key confounders in the analysis, the committee agreed that there may still be residual confounding factors. There may be people in the pre-emptive group who, had they been given the time to require dialysis, may have accrued other reasons to make transplantation inappropriate. Overall the committee agreed that the evidence certainly did not support recommendations to aim for pre-emptive second transplants in people with failing transplants but it was not strong enough to warrant recommendations against pre-emptive second transplants.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.9.4"><h4>1.9.4. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>One economic evaluation was included that compared costs in people who switched from HD to PD and PD to HD in the first year. Costs were lower in the group that switched from HD to PD however this was largely due to lower dialysis costs as PD costs were lower in this analysis. This study was judged partially applicable; in particular Canadian costs may not be applicable and the cost savings in dialysis costs with PD in this setting may not be seen in current UK practice based on current NHS reference costs.</p><p>No economic evidence was identified relating to other sequences.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.9.5"><h4>1.9.5. Other factors the committee took into account</h4><p>The committee discussed that if renal transplant is unsuitable or cannot be provided for the person with kidney disease in a timely fashion then the over-riding factor of choosing initial dialysis treatment and subsequent switches should be patient preference.&#x0201d;</p></div></div></div><div id="ch3.rl.r1"><h2 id="_ch3_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="ch3.ref1">Albrechtsen

Strategy:</p>
<p>When outcomes are reported at multiple timepoints, the later timepoints will be prioritised. Mortality and hospitalisation must be reported after at least 6 months of the intervention under investigation. All other outcomes must be reported after at least 1 month of the intervention under investigation.</p>
<p>For the outcomes of quality of life, symptom scores/functional measures, psychological distress/mental wellbeing and experience of care &#x02013; any validated measure will be accepted.</p>
<p>Absolute MIDs of 30 per 1000 will be used for mortality and modality failure. Absolute MIDs of 100 per 1000 will be used for all other outcomes dichotomous outcomes. Where relative MIDs are required (if absolute effects are unavailable), 0.90 to 1.11 will be used for mortality and modality failure. The default relative MIDs of 0.8 to 1.25 will be used for all other dichotomous outcomes. Default continuous MIDs of 0.5x SD will be used for all continuous outcomes, except where published, validated MIDs exist.</p>

<p>Studies not meeting any of the search criteria above will be excluded. Studies published before 2001, abstract-only studies and studies from non-OECD countries or the USA will also be excluded.</p>
<p>Each remaining study will be assessed for applicability and methodological limitations using the NICE economic evaluation checklist which can be found in <a href="#ch3.appg">Appendix G</a> of the 2012 NICE guidelines manual.<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch3.ref22"><sup>22</sup></a> Each included study is summarised in an economic evidence profile and an evidence table.

<p><b>Inclusion and exclusion criteria</b>
<ul id="ch3.l20"><li id="ch3.lt76" class="half_rhythm"><div>If a study is rated as both &#x02018;Directly applicable&#x02019; and with &#x02018;Minor limitations&#x02019; then it will be included in the guideline.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt77" class="half_rhythm"><div>If a study is rated as either &#x02018;Not applicable&#x02019; or with &#x02018;Very serious limitations&#x02019; then it will usually be excluded from the guideline.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt78" class="half_rhythm"><div>If a study is rated as &#x02018;Partially applicable&#x02019;, with &#x02018;Potentially serious limitations&#x02019; or both then there is discretion over whether it should be included.</div></li></ul>
<b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the Committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the Committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. For example, if a high quality study from a UK perspective is available a similar study from another country&#x02019;s perspective may be excluded.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>
<p><i>Setting:</i>
<ul id="ch3.l21"><li id="ch3.lt79" class="half_rhythm"><div>UK NHS (most applicable).</div></li><li id="ch3.lt80" class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly public health insurance systems (for example, France, Germany, Sweden).</div></li><li id="ch3.lt81" class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly private health insurance systems (for example, Switzerland).</div></li><li id="ch3.lt82" class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies set in non-OECD countries or in the USA will have been excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Economic study type:</i>
<ul id="ch3.l22"><li id="ch3.lt83" class="half_rhythm"><div>Cost-utility analysis (most applicable).</div></li><li id="ch3.lt84" class="half_rhythm"><div>Other type of full economic evaluation (cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-consequences analysis).</div></li><li id="ch3.lt85" class="half_rhythm"><div>Comparative cost analysis.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt86" class="half_rhythm"><div>Non-comparative cost analyses including cost-of-illness studies will have been excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Year of analysis:</i>

<ul id="ch3.l24"><li id="ch3.lt90" class="half_rhythm"><div>The more closely the clinical effectiveness data used in the economic analysis matches with the outcomes of the studies included in the clinical review the more useful the analysis will be for decision-making in the guideline.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt91" class="half_rhythm"><div>The following will be rated as &#x02018;Very serious limitations&#x02019; and excluded: economic analyses undertaken as part of clinical studies that are excluded from the clinical review; economic models where relative treatment effects are based entirely on studies that are excluded from the clinical review; comparative costing analyses that only look at the cost of delivering dialysis (as current UK NHS reference costs are considered a more relevant estimate of this for the guideline); within-trial economic analyses based on non-randomised studies that do not meet the minimum adjustment criteria outlined in the main review protocol.</div></li></ul></p>

<b>Research question: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of haemodialysis/haemodiafiltration before PD versus PD before haemodialysis/haemodiafiltration?</b>
</p><p>
<b>Why this is important:</b>
</p><p>In general this guideline concluded that the decision to use HD/HDF or PD was one guided by patient choice. However some people believe that the order of treatments may have an effect on overall efficacy, no high quality evidence was found in this area. If evidence was available this would allow people to make a more informed choice between HD/HDF and PD at the first point in the treatment pathway.</p><div id="ch3.appj.tab1" class="table"><h3><span class="title">Criteria for selecting high-priority research recommendations</span></h3><p class="large-table-link" style="display:none"><span class="right"><a href="/books/NBK577489/table/ch3.appj.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object">View in own window</a></span></p><div class="large_tbl" id="__ch3.appj.tab1_lrgtbl__"><table><tbody><tr><th id="hd_b_ch3.appj.tab1_1_1_1_1" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">PICO question</th><td headers="hd_b_ch3.appj.tab1_1_1_1_1" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">
