Chronic Kidney Disease-Education (CKD-EDU) (NCT06410144)
Improving Kidney Therapy Decision-Making for Older People With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The investigators are conducting a study to see which program better helps older patients with kidney disease choose their treatment. Investigators are also investigating if either program can reduce the number of hospital or emergency room visits in the first 6 months of the study, as well as potentially improve end-of-life care for older adults. Half of the participants will receive Program A, while the other half will receive Program B. Investigators will compare the two groups to see which participants feel better prepared about their kidney therapy decisions, experience improved end-of-life care, and have fewer emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Participants in Program A will receive information from the National Kidney Foundation and meet with a kidney therapy educator. Participants in Program B will get information about kidney disease treatment and meet with a decision-support specialist who's an expert in decision-making.
