Summary
Brief summary
This prospective observational study is designed to find out what treatment options new
patients with chronic kidney disease learn about from their renal unit.

Aims: To determine the proportion of new CKD patients who receive information about treatment
options prior to commencing dialysis, pre-emptive transplantation or conservative management.
To determine the timing (i.e. patient's stage of disease) when information is given. To find
out whether patients have a friend or family member with them when information is given.

Research Design and methods: This study is an assessment of CKD education practices.
Nephrologists and pre-dialysis coordinators from each renal unit will complete questionnaires
about information that was given to each new dialysis, pre-emptive transplant or
conservatively managed patient that started treatment during a 3 month period.

Study hypothesis: Approximately one third of CKD patients will receive information after
starting treatment. There will be a positive association between in-centre haemodialysis and
later referral, non-English speaking background, and advancing age. Significance: The results
from this national audit will provide Australian nephrologists and renal nurses with evidence
about CKD education practices and compliance with clinical practice guidelines. The results
may highlight opportunities for improvement in practice.
