Figure 1: Incident Chronic Dialysis Patients in Ontario, by Fiscal Year, 2010/11 to 2016/17

This line graph shows the number of new chronic dialysis patients in Ontario, by dialysis type, and by fiscal year from 2010/11 to 2016/17. Types of dialysis shown are:

• in-facility hemodialysis
• peritoneal dialysis
• home hemodialysis

In-facility hemodialysis is by far the most common modality. The number of patients on this modality has fluctuated slightly from year to year, with an overall increase over the period. The number of patients on peritoneal dialysis dipped between 2010/11 and 2011/12, but has risen steadily since then, almost doubling by 2016/17. The number of patients on home hemodialysis has remained very low over the period, reaching a high of 32 in 2013/14. See data table for details.

Figure 2: Primary Access Used by Incident Hemodialysis Patients in Ontario, by Fiscal Year, 2010/11 to 2016/17

This line graph shows the number of new hemodialysis patients by type of vascular access and fiscal year, from 2010/11 to 2016/17. A catheter is the most common type of vascular access by far, followed by a fistula. The number of patients using a graft is very low.

The number of patients using a catheter showed an upward trend between 2012/13 and 2015/16, dropping slightly in 2016/17. Fistula use followed a similar trend. See the data table for details.

Figure 3: Prevalent Chronic Dialysis Patients in Ontario, by Fiscal Year, 2010/11 to 2016/17

This line graph shows the number of people on each type of chronic dialysis by fiscal year, from 2010/11 to 2016/17. The types of chronic dialysis shown are:

• In-facility hemodialysis
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Home hemodialysis
• Training for peritoneal dialysis
• Training for home hemodialysis

In-facility hemodialysis is by far the most common and has risen steadily over the period. Peritoneal dialysis is second most common, followed by home hemodialysis. Both have also risen steadily over the period. The training numbers are very low and have fluctuated over time. See the data table for details.

Figure 4: Primary Access Used by Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients in Ontario, by Fiscal Year, 2012/13 to 2016/17

This line graph shows the number of hemodialysis patients in Ontario using each type of vascular access – fistula, graft and catheter – by fiscal year and quarter, from 2012/13 to 2016/17.

Catheter use has increased slightly over that time, while fistula and graft use have remained steady. Catheter use is most common, followed by fistula. By comparison, graft use is very low. See the data table for details.
