Mashup Score: 7Quantifying the Effect of Consent for High–Kidney Donor... : Journal of the American Society of Nephrology - 13 hour(s) ago
for high-KDPI kidneys was associated with 15% higher adjusted rates of deceased donor transplantation. Background Despite known benefits of kidney transplantation, including transplantation from donors with increased risk factors, many waitlisted candidates die before transplantation. Consent to receive donor kidneys with lower expected survival (e.g., Kidney Donor Profile Index [KDPI] >85%) is typically obtained at waitlist placement. The presumed benefit of consent to receive high-KDPI donor kidneys is higher likelihood and timeliness of donor offers for transplantation. However, the specific effect of consent on access to transplantation is unclear. Our aims were to evaluate the characteristics of candidates consenting to high-KDPI donor kidneys and the likelihood of receiving a deceased donor transplant over time on the basis of consent. Methods We used national Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients data between 2015 and 2022 (n=213,364). We evaluated the likelihood of conse

Mashup Score: 2Australian Rural Caregivers’ Experiences in Supporting Patients With Kidney Failure to Access Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation: A Qualitative Study - 14 hour(s) ago
Caregivers of patients with chronic kidney disease from rural communities play a crucial role in access to dialysis and transplantation, but they face many challenges including geographical distance, financial hardship, and limited support. This study aimed to inform strategies to overcome these challenges by describing the experiences of caregivers of patients with kidney failure from rural Australian communities in accessing kidney replacement therapy.

Mashup Score: 8Evaluation and Measurement Properties of a Patient-Reported ... : Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology - 15 hour(s) ago
thods Using mail and telephone survey modalities, we approached 1372 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis or home hemodialysis for participation. Using the results from completed surveys, we evaluated item calibration by assessing item floor and ceiling effects. We tested three sets of composite scores and used factor analysis to assess model fit for each. We evaluated associations of composite scores with global ratings and separately with patient and dialysis facility characteristics. Finally, we measured test–retest reliability in patients who completed the survey at two separate time points. Results Overall, 495 eligible patients completed at least one survey (response rate 36%). Of these, 49 completed the survey in Spanish and 61 completed a second survey within 30 days. We did not detect significant floor or ceiling effects, except for one item that demonstrated >90% responses at the top response option. Analyses supported one 12-item composite scale with high internal consi
