Design of a consensus-based geriatric assessment tailored for older chronic kidney disease patients: results of a pragmatic approach
EUROPEAN GERIATRIC MEDICINE(2021)
Abstract
Key Summary points Aim To propose a consensus-based geriatric assessment for optimizing both routine care and research in older patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. Findings Using a pragmatic approach, we reached consensus on a suitable nephrology-tailored geriatric assessment to routinely identify major geriatric impairments in older patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. This geriatric assessment contains instruments in functional, cognitive, psychological, somatic, patient preferences, nutritional status, and social domains, and can be administered with patient questionnaires and professional-administered instruments by nurse (practitioners) in approximately 20 and 40 minutes, respectively. Message We propose a consensus test set for standardized nephrology-tailored geriatric assessment, which is currently being implemented in multiple hospitals and studies, to benefit clinical care for older patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and enhance research comparability.
