Risicovoorspellingsmodellen voor ouderen met chronische nierziekte

Older patients represent the most rapidly growing age group presenting with kidney failure. Despite this high incidence, the rate of progression to kidney failure tends to be slower in older individuals, and the competing risk of death before the development of kidney failure is a more significant consideration in older patients compared with younger counterparts. Incorporating these concepts of risk is challenging in shared decision-making discussions between clinicians, older patients, and their families.
