Comprehensive geriatric assessment for older people living with chronic kidney disease and frailty: time to set a new goal?
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate whether comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) improves goal attainment for older adults with chronic kidney disease and frailty, following findings from the GOAL trial that indicated no significant benefits from a single outpatient appointment with a geriatrician. They suggest that alternative models of CGA and person-centered care should be explored, emphasizing the importance of integrating person-centered approaches into nephrology services.
