Prospective surveillance study of conservative kidney care in the UK and the Republic of Ireland: a British Paediatric Surveillance Unit study
Children receiving conservative kidney care account for approximately one-tenth of all incident paediatric kidney failure in the UK. While families receive specialist and palliative care support, further investigation is needed to understand whether treatment discussions could occur in a timelier fashion. As a vulnerable group of children, routine national data capture, as for the KRT-treated cohort, would support standardisation of care, audit and benchmarking.
