What is End-of-Life Care in Advanced Kidney Disease about?
This study examines end-of-life care patterns for patients with advanced kidney disease in the US Veterans Affairs Health Care System from 2000 to 2011. It finds that patients who opted not to pursue dialysis therapy received less intensive end-of-life care, including lower rates of hospitalization and in-hospital death, while being more likely to receive palliative care and hospice services. The findings highlight significant differences in care based on treatment decisions regarding dialysis.
