Outcomes and Decision Stability in Older Adults following Structured Counseling on Dialysis versus Conservative Management for Kidney Failure: A Prospective Study
After a structured counseling session, elderly kidney failure participants who chose CKM were older, female, and presented greater cognitive and functional impairment. This approach supported informed choices and was associated with a high adherence to the initial treatment decision. Further studies are needed to expand this line of research.
