For instance, in the Ile de France region, one of the most affected by the pandemic, data from the Biomedicine Agency indicate that 930 out of 8,025 patients (11.5%) on in-center hemodialysis were diagnosed with COVID-19, whereas only 4 out of 109 patients on home hemodialysis developed the disease (3.6%) (p = 0.001).
