Trial to Evaluate and Assess the Effect of Comprehensive Pre-ESKD Education on Home Dialysis Use in Veterans
A Patient-centered, System-based Approach to Improve Informed Dialysis Choice and Outcomes in Veterans With CKD
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is intended to correct an important systemic deficit in the care of chronic kidney disease (CKD), VHA's fourth most common healthcare condition with high mortality and healthcare burden. Currently, many Veterans with CKD have poor awareness of their condition. This leads to suboptimal care. The investigators anticipate that the proposed comprehensive pre-end stage renal disease (ESRD) education (CPE) will enhance Veterans' CKD knowledge and their confidence in making an informed selection of an appropriate dialysis modality, and lead to an increase in the use of home dialysis (HoD) - an evidence-based, yet underutilized dialysis modality. Further, this study will allow us to examine whether such Veteran-informed dialysis choice can improve Veteran and health services outcomes. If successful, this study may deliver a ready to roll-out strategy to meet the CKD care needs of the Veterans and reduce VHA healthcare costs.
