Automatic analysis
Total deceased analysed: 363.
Suggested action: Midpoint-estimate mean survival: 2.1 years. Precise mean: 0.2 years. Median: 19 months.
15.2% of deaths (55 patients) occurred within 3 months of starting dialysis.
Suggested action: Audit every one: late referral, emergency start, catheter use at initiation, sepsis, hyperkalaemia, pulmonary oedema. Build a 'first 90 days' care bundle with weekly nurse-led review.
39.7% of deaths occurred in the first year — above the 20–25% international range.
Suggested action: Strengthen the transition-to-dialysis pathway.
Boundary note: your BETWEEN ranges overlap at the endpoints (6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48 months).
Suggested action: Fine for monitoring; switch to half-open ranges (>= x AND < y) for registry submission.
