Facilitating active participation in anticoagulant decisions in advanced kidney disease: co-production of a question prompt list.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with chronic kidney disease are at increased risk of thrombotic and bleeding episodes making anticoagulant treatment decisions challenging. Currently, there are no support tools for people with chronic kidney disease regarding anticoagulant therapy decisions. This work aimed to co-produce materials to support shared-decision making when considering anticoagulant use in advanced chronic kidney disease.

Methods

Focus groups were undertaken to explore the views of people with kidney disease towards anticoagulant prescribing.
