Zusammenfassung: | Associations between achievement of adult Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) targets for hemoglobin, adequacy and albumin, and race and gender were determined for pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients from the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Clinical Performance Measures (CPM) project for the period October 2004–March 2005. Fifty-six percent (427/761) of patients were male. Sixty-six percent (500/761) of patients were White. There were no differences in achievement of targets for adults by gender, and no differences in adequacy parameters by race. Blacks had lower mean hemoglobin levels than did Whites (11.1 ± 1.6 g/dl vs 11.8 ± 1.4 g/dl,
