Declarations
:
: Ethics committee approval and informed consent for the specific study were not necessary because the authors used the data already collected at the beginning of the study from regional health information systems and the Regional Dialysis and Transplant Registry. The data were analysed anonymously through a standardized methodology according to the Italian national privacy law (national legislative decree on privacy policy n° 196/30 June 2003) and with the Declaration of Helsinki. Individuals cannot be identified directly or through identifiers and results are shown in aggregate form. The Department of Epidemiology of the Lazio Regional Health Service is the regional referral centre for epidemiological research, and it has full access to anonymized health information systems and Regional Dialysis and Transplant Registry. In accordance with the rules of observational research we notified the study to the Lazio 1 Ethic Committee - Azienda Ospedaliera San Camillo- Forlanini and ethical approval and informed consent was waived.
: The regional law (n° 9/24 December 2010) implies that patients at entry into the Regional Dialysis and Transplant Registry sing a consent for use of the data for research purposes and related publications.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
