Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is indicated when patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progress to uremia.With the introduction of shared decision making (SDM), patients can select the most appropriate therapy for their renal failure. A SDM coaching program was established in 2016 in our department. Patients with CKD stage 5 were referred to CKD case manager or dialysis therapists for SDM. During the period from January 2017 to April 2018, a total of 115 patients (male: 51.3%) were enrolled. Their mean age was 60.7± 15.2 years. Their decisions after SDM were: hemodialysis: fifty-two patients (45.2%), peritoneal dialysis: forty-one patients (35.7%), kidney transplantation: seven patients (6.1%), hospice care: nine patients (7.8%). six patients (5.2%) cannot make their decision right away after SDM. We found more patients younger than 55 years selecting peritoneal dialysis and transplantation (p were on peritoneal dialysis. None of them selected hospice care or transplantation. Comparing with their decision after SDM, consistent decision for hemodialysis was 16 patients (30.2%) and 6 patients (22.2%) in peritoneal dialysis. We concluded that dialysis remained the most selected therapy. The self-care ability, life quality and independent selection were important determinants of SDM for RRT. |
