This
cross-sectional study measured patient and family member reported
treatment and economic burden associated with monthly versus weekly
erythropoiesis stimulating protein therapies for anemia in patients
with CKD who were not yet on dialysis. The results indicated that
compared to a weekly regimen, a monthly regimen saved patients 7 hours
and family members 19 hours per month for routine anemia management.
The monthly regimen substantially reduced the reported economic and
treatment burdens of patient and their family members.
