Outcomes of COVID-19 in peritoneal dialysis patients: A report by the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database

The ERACODA collaboration is an initiative to study prognosis and risk factors for mortality due to COVID-19 in patients with a kidney transplant or on dialysis that is endorsed by the ERA. The organisational structure contains a Working Group assisted by a Management Team and Advisory Board.

ERACODA Working Group: Franssen CFM, Gansevoort RT (coordinator), Hemmelder MH, Hilbrands LB and Jager KJ; ERACODA Management Team: Duivenvoorden R, Noordzij M, and Vart P; ERACODA Advisory Board: Abramowicz D, Basile C, Covic A, Crespo M, Massy ZA, Mitra S, Petridou E, Sanchez JE, and White C.

Data sharing statement: Collaborators that entered data in ERACODA remain owner of these data. The database can therefore not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of all data providers, but the database will be made available to the editorial offices of medical journals when requested.

We thank all people that entered information in the ERACODA database for their participation, and especially all healthcare workers that have taken care of the included COVID-19 patients.
