Summary

The EPOCH-RRT study seeks to fill knowledge gaps by gaining more understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients' priorities; assessing the comparative benefits of hemodialysis (HD) versus peritoneal dialysis (PD), with respect to these priorities; and providing tailored information to assist patients with identifying the best dialysis modality fit for their own unique circumstances and perspectives. The outcomes most relevant to patients ("patient-centered") extend beyond those traditionally assessed in clinical research, with the relative importance varying across patient groups. A tailored decision aid based on these findings can improve patient decision-making processes regarding choice of dialysis modality.
