Risk of hospitalization, technique failure, and death with increased training duration in 3-days-a-week home hemodialysis.

Introduction: Quality training is a core component of successful home hemodialysis (HHD) and training duration varies significantly between dialysis centers as well as at the patient level. This study aimed to assess the adverse outcomes associated with HHD training duration.

Methods: All HHD patients successfully trained in a single dialysis center between January 2005 and July 2017 were included.
