In Central Queensland, Australia, many patients, including Indigenous Australians, live far from major centres providing HD services. Teledialysis (Tele\u2010D), involving virtual nephrologist\u2010led ward rounds, can improve access to specialist care while supporting community\u2010based dialysis. This study evaluated the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of Tele\u2010D for satellite HD units in Central Queensland. This retrospective cohort study compared patients receiving in\u2010centre HD at Rockhampton Hospital (hospital group) with those receiving community HD (Tele\u2010D group), where dialysis nurses delivered routine care under a nephrologist\u2010led telehealth model comprising weekly virtual reviews via the Queensland Telehealth Portal and additional telephone or email support as required over a 2\u2010year period. Both groups received routine monthly pathology review and face\u2010to\u2010face outpatient review every 3 months. Clinical and biochemical outcomes, including haemoglobin, urea reduction ratio, albumin, calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone, showed no significant differences in longitudinal trajectories between groups. Haemoglobin levels in the Tele\u2010D group converged towards the recommended target range. Emergency department presentations, hospital length of stay and all\u2010cause mortality were lower in the Tele\u2010D group. However, after adjustment for age, sex, diabetes and modified Charlson comorbidity index (mCCI), the hazard ratio for mortality had a confidence interval crossing 1.0, indicating noninferiority rather than superiority. In this regional retrospective cohort, Tele\u2010D was feasible, with clinical, biochemical and survival outcomes comparable with conventional hospital\u2010based HD. Because patients in the Tele\u2010D group were younger, had fewer comorbidities and exclusively used arteriovenous fistulas for vascular access, causal inference cannot be made. These findings support the Tele\u2010D model of care and warrant further evaluation in larger prospective studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/ijta\/1926027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T05:33:19Z","timestamp":1789709599000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Teledialysis
