Impact of poverty and race on pre-end-stage renal disease care among dialysis patients in the United States
Journal Title: Clinical Kidney Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Access to nephrology care prior to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is significantly associated with lower rates of morbidity and mortality. We assessed the association of area-level and individual-level indicators of poverty and race/ethnicity on pre-ESRD care provided by nephrologists.
