Nephrologists need to better understand the impact of their decisions about long-term treatment strategies. Healthcare planning requires the anticipation of demand. Indicators from ESRD registries are especially difficult to interpret when the underlying dynamic process is not well understood. Therefore, we have developed a statistical tool to study the course of incident ESRD patient cohorts over time and to quantify, by simulations, the impact of various expected changes or new strategies.
