The mortality risk associated with attempting to raise hemoglobin (Hb) levels by increasing Epoetin alfa (EPO) doses in hemodialysis patients with persistently low Hb remains poorly understood. Design, setting, participants, & measurements. We included hemodialysis patients from a large dialysis provider between July 2000 and June 2001 who had EPO dose and Hb data for 6 consecutive months, and a mean Hb <11 g/dl in months 4 to 6 (sub-11 period). We identify predictors of EPO dose changes during the sub-11 period; evaluate the proportion of patients achieving a Hb >or=11 g/dl after the sub-11 period by dose-change categories; and evaluate the association between EPO dose changes and mortality risk.
