Why the study?

Does education by a Renal Triage Nurse improve transition to independent modalities of renal replacement therapy in suboptimal haemodialysis starts?

Structured PICO

Does education by a Renal Triage Nurse improve transition to independent modalities of renal replacement therapy in suboptimal haemodialysis starts?

Population

176 adult patients starting haemodialysis (HD) with either <180 days nephrology follow-up (suboptimal HD starts, n=78) or via multidisciplinary predialysis clinic (MPC, n=98), surviving at least 180 days.

Intervention

Education by a dedicated Renal Triage Nurse (RTN)

Comparator

Suboptimal HD starts not seen by the RTN, and patients initiating RRT via the multidisciplinary predialysis clinic (MPC)

Outcome

Transition to independent modalities of renal replacement therapy (RRT) (peritoneal dialysis, home haemodialysis, transplant)

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May support RTN education for suboptimal HD starts; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
