Patients were classified according to initial dialysis modality [hemodialysis (HD) vs peritoneal dialysis (PD)]. A 1:3 propensity score-matched analysis was performed. Transition from PD to HD was modeled as a time-dependent covariate in Cox proportional hazards models to account for modality switching and minimize immortal-time bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 4205 octogenarians, 239 initiated PD, 3966 initiated HD. After matching, 213 PD patients were compared to 637 HD controls. Five-year survival did not differ significantly by initial modality after adjustment. However, switching from PD to HD was independently associated with increased mortality (HR 1.46; 95% CI 1.02\u20132.08; P\u00a0=\u00a0.038), suggesting a potential association with clinical deterioration. PD without switching was not significantly associated with mortality (HR 1.19; P\u00a0=\u00a0.120; 95% CI 0.95\u20131.48). Older age and KRT initiation in 2000\u201307 were also associated with worse outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this large population-based cohort of octogenarians, initial dialysis modality was not associated with differences in survival after adjustment.
