Predialysis Care Trajectories of Patients With ESKD Starting Dialysis in Emergency in France.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Emergency dialysis start (EDS) is frequent for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To improve CKD management, new trajectory-based care policies are currently being introduced both in France and in the United States. This study describes the different types of predialysis care trajectories and factors associated with EDS.

Methods
