About this study

Official title: Frailty, Cognitive Function and Health-related Quality of Life in Older Adults With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease: Mortality and Dialysis Initiation, a Prospective Cohort Study.

This observational study explores the impact of cognitive impairment and frailty in older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease ].

  • What determines the time to initiate dialysis? Cognitive impairment or frailty?
  • What does predict the time to death? Presence of frailty or cognitive impairment?
  • What does correlate strongly with time-low health-related quality of life? frailty or cognitive impairment?
