Contributions of treatment centre and patient characteristics to patient-reported experience of haemodialysis: a national cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine the relative importance of patient and centre level factors in determining self-reported experience of care in patients with advanced kidney disease treated by maintenance haemodialysis (HD).

Design

Analysis of data from a cross sectional national survey; the UK Renal Registry (UKRR) national Kidney patient-reported experience measure (PREM) survey (2018). Centre-level data were obtained from the UKRR report (2018).

Setting

National survey of patients with advanced kidney disease receiving treatment with maintenance HD in UK renal centres in 2018.

Participants

The Kidney PREM was distributed to all UK renal centres by the UKRR in May 2018. Each centre invited patients receiving outpatient treatment for kidney disease to complete the PREM.
