A Video Decision Support Tool to Assist Patients in Dialysis Decision-making Versus Conservative Kidney Management - A Pilot Randomized Control Trial
In the United States, it is estimated that there are approximately 630,000 patients who have
ESRD with two-thirds of those patients subsequently receiving maintenance dialysis. Studies
have demonstrated that the initiation and timing of dialysis for those with ESRD seem to vary
widely regionally - confirming the uncertainty of the benefits of chronic dialysis in this
population
Pre-dialysis education programs inform patients of all of their options allowing them to
choose renal replacement therapy that is most consistent with their wishes. Recent evidence
has supported using different methods of delivering education including videos to complement
standard clinical care practices to promote informed decision making. This proposed study
will serve to examine the effectiveness of a dialysis modality video decision support tool to
inform chronic kidney disease patients of different dialytic and non-dialytic therapies.
