Timing of renal coordinator referral and risk of unplanned dialysis initiation in advanced chronic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 282 people with advanced kidney disease in Singapore. It checked if getting help from a care coordinator early on reduced the chance of starting dialysis suddenly. It found a link between early referral and planned care. This shows a connection, not proof of cause.
