Could symptom burden predict subsequent healthcare use in patients with end stage kidney disease on hemodialysis care? A prospective, preliminary study.

Conclusions: Our preliminary evidence suggests that higher symptom burden, assessed by ESASr may predict higher risk of healthcare use amongst patients with end stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. Future studies need to confirm the findings of this preliminary study and to assess the utility of ESASr for systematic symptom screening. PMID: 32506997 [PubMed - in process]
