| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS cirDR0xL. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Context Mortality rates among US hemodialysis patients are the highest in the industrialized world at 23% per year. Measures of dialysis dose (Kt/V) correspond strongly with survival and are inadequate in one sixth of patients. Inadequate dialysis is also associated with increased hospitalizations and high inpatient costs. Our previous work identified 3 barriers to adequate hemodialysis : dialysis underprescription, catheter use, and shortened treatment time. Objective To determine the effect of a tailored intervention on adequacy of hemodialysis. Design and Setting Community-based randomized controlled trial with recruitment from April 1999 to June 2000 at 29 hemodialysis facilities in northeast Ohio. Participants Forty-four nephrologists and their 169 randomly selected adult patients receiving inadequate hemodialysis. Intervention Nephrologists were randomly assigned to an intervention (n=21) or control (n=23) group. For patients in the intervention group (n=85), depending on the barrier (s) present, a study coordinator gave nephrologists recommendations about optimizing dialysis prescriptions, expedited conversion of catheters to surgically created grafts or fistulas, and educated patients about the importance of compliance with treatment time. Patients in the control group (n=84) continued to receive usual care. Main Outcome Measures Changes in Kt/V and specific barriers after 6 months. Results At baseline, intervention and control patients had similar Kt/V measurements, specific barriers, and demographic and medical characteristics. After 6 months, intervention patients had 2-fold larger increases in Kt/V compared with control patients (+0.20 vs+0.10 ; P<. 001) and were more likely to achieve their facility Kt/V goal (62% vs 42% ; P=01). Intervention patients also had nearly 3-fold larger increases in dialysis prescription (+0.16 vs+0.06 ; P<. (...) |
