Profiling mortality patterns and place of death in patients on maintenance hemodialysis: a retrospective study in a tertiary care academic hospital in India
Our study provides critical insights into mortality patterns and the need for improved kidney supportive care integration in patients with ESKD. Addressing symptom burden, enhancing ACP, and implementing end of life care protocols could align healthcare delivery with patient preferences, ultimately improving the quality of end of life care in this vulnerable population. Further research is recommended to explore broader interventions and their impact on patient outcomes.
