Inpatient multidisciplinary care can prevent deterioration of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease: a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multidisciplinary care is necessary to prevent worsening renal function and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but has mostly been investigated in the outpatient setting. In this study, we evaluated the outcome of multidisciplinary care for CKD according to whether it was provided in an outpatient or inpatient setting.
