Objectives

Narrative objectives1

to both elicit the preferences of patients on dialysis related to timing of ACP and describe the prevalence of ACP and the associated factors in this population. We will also elicit the perspectives of healthcare providers engaged in dialysis care.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary study outcome is the proportion of participants whose indicate that they would consider it appropriate, a little late, or too late to conduct ACP at dialysis initiation (the first step in each trajectory)

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes will include the proportion of patients who report that they have completed ACP and whether this included discussion of preferences related to life-sustaining treatment and dialysis discontinuation.

Key inclusion criteria

The study will include patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis aged 65 years or older who are within 10 years of dialysis initiation at the time of recruitment. We will exclude patients who are unwilling to participate and those who are cognitively able to provide informed consent due to moderate or severe dementia, a neurodegenerative disorder, or cerebrovascular disease.
The study will also include clinicians involved in caring for recruited patients including medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, clinical engineers, nutritionists, and social workers.

Results

The study involved 181 patients and 128 clinicians, with 131 patients (72%) and 84 clinicians (66%) preferring to start advance care planning when dialysis begins. Only 20 patients (11%) participated in such planning with a clinician, including 11 (6%) who discussed life-sustaining treatments and 8 (4%) who talked about continuing dialysis.

Baseline Characteristics

Of the 181 patients studied, 131 (72%) were open to starting advance care planning at or before dialysis initiation while in good health. Thirteen (7%) thought this timing could be slightly late, but none found it too late. Nineteen (10%) were uncomfortable initiating planning at this stage. Discussions on planning when extremely frail were preferred by 14 patients (8%) and two clinicians (2%). Patient characteristics showed no significant correlation with preferences for proactive planning. Regarding life expectancy, 35 patients (20%) estimated less than 5 years, 50 (28%) between 5 and 10 years, 29 (16%) over 10 years, and 65 (36%) were unsure.

Participant flow

Out of 220 eligible patients on hemodialysis and 140 clinicians involved in their care, 181 patients (82%) and 128 clinicians (91%) gave informed consent and enrolled in the study.

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

The primary outcome measured the proportion of participants who supported a proactive approach to advance care planning, categorizing their views on its timing around dialysis initiation as appropriate, a little late, or too late.

Secondary outcomes assessed the proportion of patients who had begun discussions on advance care planning with their clinicians by the time of survey completion, specifically regarding preferences for life-sustaining treatment and the continuation of dialysis.
