Abstract:
Medical accessibility reflects the actual ability of patients to use healthcare services, and is an important indicator for evaluating the quality of healthcare services from both the supply and demand perspectives. Inadequate medical accessibility is prevalent in dialysis patients and adversely affects clinical prognosis. In recent years, the number of peritoneal dialysis patients in China has increased remarkably, and the inequality of medical accessibility is particularly serious. However, the relationship between medical accessibility and clinical prognosis of peritoneal dialysis is still uncertain, and requires further study to provide evidence for formulating relevant health policies. This article reviews the concept and research indicators of medical accessibility, and the influence of medical accessibility on the clinical prognosis, to raise the awareness of medical accessibility inequality and help to improve care quality and survival rate in dialysis patients.
