I care about it. I've volunteered on the DOPPS Steering Committee for a few years, I think they fill an important niche - providing data in a more timely way than the USRDS and providing the data to allow international comparisons which would otherwise be difficult to do.


I think the Practice Monitor is interesting, it's giving data through to the end of 2012, while the current USRDS annual data report is reporting through 2010. The Practice Monitor is a first look at the national dialysis state of play.

Thanks, Bill, for taking the time to be a volunteer on the DOPPS Steering Committee!
