Shared Decision-Making in Dialysis Modality Selection Among Adults with Advanced Kidney Disease in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This survey in Saudi Arabia asked adults with advanced kidney disease how much say they had in choosing their dialysis type, such as in-center hemodialysis or home peritoneal dialysis. It measured how often patients felt included in the decision. Because it is a one-time survey, it shows a link between how care was delivered and how included people felt, not proof that one style of counseling causes better choices. It is useful for understanding how modality decisions actually get made.
