Goals of Frail Older People Living With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Mixed Methods Study
Frail older adults with CKD most frequently focus their goals on function, physical health, social engagement, and leisure. These goals did not vary by participants' frailty status or CKD stage. This study's findings can guide healthcare professionals in ensuring management plans consider these identified priorities. Geriatricians may have a role in managing this population, given the commonality of these goals with those of older people more generally.
