Reduced mortality associated with acute kidney injury requiring dialysis in the United States.
The researchers describe the epidemiology of dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury (AKI-D) as well as associated in-hospital mortality in the US. They found that the incidence rate of AKI-D has increased considerably in the US since 2001. However, in-hospital mortality associated with AKI-D hospital admissions has decreased significantly.

Incidence and in-hospital mortality of acute kidney injury (AKI) and dialysis-requiring AKI (AKI-D) after cardiac catheterization in the National Inpatient Sample.
This study examined cardiac catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) hospital discharges from the nationally representative National Inpatient Sample to determine annual population incidence rates for AKI and AKI-D in the United States from 2001 to 2011. It found that the incidence of AKI among cardiac catheterization and PCI patients has increased sharply in the United States; however, mortality has significantly declined.

Perceptions of culture of safety in hemodialysis centers.
Staff members, physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants from a sample of hemodialysis facilities completed a 10-item assessment with modified questions from the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, with an emphasis on safety culture related to vascular access infections. Overall, scores were high, indicating a positive patient safety culture.

An instrumental variable approach finds no associated harm or benefit with early dialysis initiation in the United States.
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at dialysis initiation has been rising. This study described geographic variation in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at dialysis initiation and determine its association with mortality. It found no associated harm or benefit with early dialysis initiation in the United States.
