Identification and Prioritization of Postoperative Outcomes in Research with Multidisciplinary Stakeholders and People Living with Kidney Failure

Overview
People with kidney failure have up to 16 times more surgeries than people without kidney disease. They also have worse outcomes after surgery including a higher risk of heart attacks and death. Current research for people with kidney disease focuses on outcomes that doctors and researchers think are important. In this project, we are trying to identify what is most important to people with kidney failure as they have surgery, to learn more about these outcomes and understand if tools should be developed to predict the risk of those outcomes.
Your involvement in the study will involve the completion of three or four 10-minute surveys. We will compensate you $50 for your time.
Eligibility
- Adult (over 18 years old) with kidney failure that has had surgery
- Caregiver for a person with kidney failure that has had surgery
- Must live in Canada
