End-stage renal disease (ESRD) incidence and prevalence are increasing in many countries worldwide. Due to the high cost of therapy, predicting future numbers of patients requiring dialysis and transplantation is necessary for health care planners. Projecting therapy-specific chronic disease prevalence is inherently problematic, and examples of suitable models and their application are sparse. When applied, rarely was the adequacy of such models evaluated.
