“…Prophylactic oral antibiotic therapy has been used to reduce access site infections and their complications, but uncontrolled studies suggest that it is ineffective (Dathan et al, 1970;Martin et al, 1967). Prophylactic parenteral antistaphylococcal therapy reduces overt staphylococcal sepsis but predisposes to Gram-negative infections (Morris and Bilinsky, 1971).…”

Septicaemia is a common and potentially lethal hazard of haemodialysis and renal transplantation; it is usually caused by Staphylococcus pyogenes. In 6 patients with S. pyogenes septicaemia, fatal endocarditis and spinal osteomyelitis have each occurred once, and 3 patients have had recurrent episodes of septicaemia. The management of septicaemia in these patients must include a search for metastatic infection, and prolonged therapy with 2 antistaphylococcal agents is necessary to ensure eradication of infection. Access site infection in dialysis patients must be treated vigorously, and recognized as potentially hazardous by patients. The risk of sepsis in dialysis and transplant patients cannot be excluded, but devastating consequences may be avoided by simple measures.

“…Consequently, workup typically shows no abnormality. (5) If examined soon enough, those afflicted will show RBCs in their urine and may have ecchymoses or contusions of their urinary blad¬ der wall. Any other genitourinary abnormality should be considered as a separate problem.…”

“…The London Hospital unit opened in February 1968 and now combines unit and home dialysis with transplantation (Dathan et al, 1970). The unit operates six days a week, has nine bed stations, and each patient is dialysed overnight for 14 hours twice a week.…”

SummaryA mathematical model has been constructed to assist in planning the future requirements of a combined haemodialysis and transplantation centre. It has been used to predict the number of patients in the dialysis unit, the general wards, and at home on dialysis, as well as providing further information on transplantation rates and overall costs. The model can be adapted for units with different facilities from our own.It can be primed with data from an individual unit or with pooled data from the whole country. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the methodology of a particular statistical approach.
