Variability in transplant rates between different dialysis units has been noted,
yet little is known about facility-level factors associated with low standardized
transplant ratios (STRs) across the United States End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Network regions. We analyzed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dialysis
Facility Report data from 2007 to 2010 to examine facility-level factors
associated with low STRs using multivariable mixed models. Among 4098 dialysis
facilities treating 305 698 patients, there was wide variability in
facility-level STRs across the 18 ESRD Networks. Four-year average STRs ranged
from 0.69 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.64-0.73) in Network 6 (Southeastern
Kidney Council) to 1.61 (95% CI: 1.47-1.76) in Network 1 (New England). Factors
significantly associated with a lower STR (p?0.0001) included for-profit
status, facilities with higher percentage black patients, patients with no health
insurance and patients with diabetes. A greater number of facility staff, more
transplant centers per 10 000 ESRD patients and a higher percentage of patients
who were employed or utilized peritoneal dialysis were associated with higher
STRs. The lowest performing dialysis facilities were in the Southeastern United
States. Understanding the modifiable facility-level factors associated with low
transplant rates may inform interventions to improve access to transplantation.
