| The Comprehensive
Dialysis Study is an updated Special Study sponsored by the National
Institutes of Health, National Institute on Diabetes and Digestive
and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS). In the spirit of the Dialysis Morbidity
and Mortality Waves, the CDS will carve out a nationally representative
cohort of incident hemo- and peritoneal dialysis patients,
and collect clinical information above and beyond that available
from the Medical Evidence Form and other standard USRDS files.
Approximately 3000 subjects will be selected for an evaluation
of self-reported health status and physical function. Of the
3000 subjects, approximately 900 will be selected for additional
studies of self-reported dietary intake and serial laboratory
determinations. The study will be conducted cooperatively by
Investigators at the USRDS Coordinating Center (University
of Minnesota), Emory University and the University of California
(San Francisco and Davis). For questions, please contact the
Coordinating Center, or the lead investigators, Dr. Nancy Kutner
(nkutner@emory.edu) and Dr. Glenn Chertow (chertowg@medicine.ucsf.edu).
Study
start date is September 1, 2005

To address patient privacy issues, and to be consistent with
HIPAA policies, the USRDS will now require IRB approval for
all research proposals. This is being done to insure that
researchers are adhering to local privacy standards as well
as to USRDS and CMS privacy policies. Those requesting approval
for aggregate data will not be required to obtain IRB approval.
