general meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 28, 1996.
| | Elevated Creatinine Referral Guidelines, 1999
These guidelines, published in the Canadian Medical Association
Journal in 1999, provide clinical practice guidelines for family physicians
and other non-nephrologic specialists, for management and
referral to nephrologists of patients with elevated levels of serum creatinine.
| | CSN Clinical Practice Guidelines, 1999
The Canadian Society of Nephrology created guidelines related to
(1) adequacy and nutrition in peritoneal dialysis, (2) delivery of
hemodialysis, (3) vascular access, and (4) initiation of dialysis. These
guidelines have been published in the Journal of the American Society of
Nephrology (JASN), Volume 10, Supplement 13, June, 1999. This publication
is not available online at the JASN website. The .pdf version is available

| | Anemia Management in Hemodialysis Patients
This publication is the first publication in which Canadian DOPPS 2
data is included. Drs. Mendelssohn and Ethier would like to express their thanks
to all those Canadian nephrologists who have made the Canadian contribution
possible:
Anemia management and outcomes from 12 countries in the
dialysis outcomes and practice patterns study (DOPPS) Ronald L. Pisoni,
PhD, et al. Am. J. Kid. Disease 44(1):94-111, 2004.

| | Hemodialysis Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Canadian Society of Nephrology
| | Hemodialysis access in Canada
Hemodialysis access in Canada: Dr. David Mendelssohn and
colleagues report on DOPPS II data concerning the relatively high incidence and
prevalence of tunneled hemodialysis catheter use in Canada, compared to other
countries. CSN members are invited to read this manuscript (Mendelssohn DC, Ethier J, Elder SJ, et al. Hemodialysis vascular access problems in Canada: results from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS II). Nephrol Dial Transplant 2006; 21: 721-728), which also speculates on the possible causes for increased use of tunneled catheters in Canada."
| | DOPPS Estimate of Patient Life Years Attributable to Modifiable Hemodialysis Practices in Canada
On behalf of the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Pattern Study, we wish to
alert Canadian nephrologists to an original research article entitled “DOPPS
Estimate of Patient Life Years Attributable to Modifiable Hemodialysis Practices
in Canada.” The original article was published in the April 2007 edition of
Nephrology News and Issues (NN&I) (21:5:69-85, 2007). A free download is
available at http://www.nephronline.com by clicking on
the “Magazine” tab and selecting “Special Reports”. The authors thank NN&I
executive editor Mark Neumann for allowing us to distribute it to Canadian
nephrologists as required, with the shared goal of inspiring a culture of
quality and improving hemodialysis practices in Canada.
