Patient outcomes
CMS compares each facility's results with what it would expect given its patients' age, health and other factors.
| Patient survival | As expected |
| Hospital admissions | As expected |
| Hospital readmissions | As expected |
| Blood transfusions | As expected |
| Bloodstream infections | As expected |
| Emergency department visits | As expected |
| Getting on the kidney transplant waitlist (first year) | As expected |
| Patients on the transplant waitlist | Better than expected |
| Fistula use | As expected |
| Adult hemodialysis patients with adequate dialysis (Kt/V ≥ 1.2) | 96% |
| Adult patients with a long-term catheter | 23% |
| Adult patients with high calcium (over 10.2 mg/dL) | 1% |
| Patients waitlisted for a kidney transplant | 35.9% |
“As expected” means the center's result was not reliably different from what CMS predicted for its patients — it is the most common result. Ask the center about any “worse than expected” measure and what it is doing about it. Concerns you can't resolve with the center can go to your ESRD Network.
