Abstract

The importance of a shared decision-making (SDM) approach is widely recognized worldwide. In Japan, hospital accreditation involves the promotion of SDM for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) when considering renal replacement therapy (RRT). This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness and long-term medical benefits of SDM in RRT. Patients with ESRD who underwent dialysis therapy were retrospectively divided into those who visited outpatient clinics specific for ESRD (ESRD clinic) supporting RRT selection with an SDM approach (visited group) and those who did not visit the ESRD clinic (non-visited group). Data of 250 patients (129 in the non-visited group and 121 in the visited group) were analyzed. Mortality was significantly higher in the non-visited group than in the visited group. Not seeing an ESRD specialist was associated with emergent initiation of dialysis and subsequent 1 year mortality. The number of patients who chose peritoneal dialysis as a modality of RRT was significantly larger in the visited group. These findings demonstrate the association between the ESRD clinic, 1 year survival in patients with ESRD after initiating dialysis, and the different RRT modalities. This specific approach in the ESRD clinic may improve the management of patients with ESRD.
