The EPOCH-RRT study seeks to fill knowledge gaps by gaining more understanding of chronic
kidney disease (CKD) patients' priorities; assessing the comparative benefits of
hemodialysis (HD) versus peritoneal dialysis (PD), with respect to these priorities; and
providing tailored information to assist patients with identifying the best dialysis
modality fit for their own unique circumstances and perspectives.
The outcomes most relevant to patients ("patient-centered") extend beyond those
traditionally assessed in clinical research, with the relative importance varying across
patient groups. A tailored decision aid based on these findings can improve patient
decision-making processes regarding choice of dialysis modality.

Empowering Patients On Choices for Renal Replacement Therapy (EPOCH-RRT)study seeks to
identify factors that matter the most to patients with kidney disease and study how they are
impacted by different types of dialysis. The inclusion of patients, caregivers, and patient
advocacy organizations as research partners will assure that the study addresses questions
of greatest relevance to patients facing the need for dialysis.
Aim One of EPOCH-RRT identifies outcomes that are most important to different groups of
advanced CKD and dialysis patients through qualitative methods applied for conducting
in-depth interviews.
