Outcomes for Frail Dialysis Patients Not Referred for Transplantation: A Cohort Study

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Frailty is highly prevalent in kidney failure, but it is unclear whether frailty impacts health outcomes for those initiating dialysis who are not referred for transplantation. Our objective was to determine if frailty is associated with death or development of a permanent contraindication to transplantation among eligible non ...
