In patients aged > 75 years with high extra-renal comorbidity, the survival advantage conferred by RRT over CM is likely to be small and age >‬75 years and female gender independently predicted better survival.

- 01 Mar 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , a narrative review is presented to summarize the existing studies on the survival of older patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease managed with or without dialysis and to evaluate the factors that may influence mortality in an effort to assist clinicians with shared decision making.

Incorporating the Clinical Frailty Scale into routine outpatient nephrology practice: an observational study of feasibility and associations.

TL;DR: Frailty assessment via CFS was feasible in outpatient practice, when integrated into routine clinical assessment in a dedicated clinic, and appears associated with increased planned Conservative Management of ESKD.

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

TL;DR: The initiation of dialysis is associated with a substantial and sustained decline in functional status among nursing home residents with ESRD, and this decline was independent of age, sex, race, and functional-status trajectory before the initiation ofdialysis.

Gender differences in insulin resistance, body composition, and energy balance.

TL;DR: Greater amounts of visceral and hepatic adipose tissue, in conjunction with the lack of a possible protective effect of estrogen, may be related to higher insulin resistance in men compared with women.

Dialysis or not? A comparative survival study of patients over 75 years with chronic kidney disease stage 5

TL;DR: In CKD stage 5 patients over 75 years, who receive specialist nephrological care early, and who follow a planned management pathway, the survival advantage of dialysis is substantially reduced by comorbidity and ischaemic heart disease in particular.

Is Maximum Conservative Management an Equivalent Treatment Option to Dialysis for Elderly Patients with Significant Comorbid Disease

TL;DR: Dialysis prolongs survival for elderly patients who have ESRD with significant comorbidity by approximately 2 yr; however, patients who choose MCM can survive a substantial length of time, achieving similar numbers of hospital-free days to patients who choice hemodialysis.

Octogenarians Reaching End-Stage Renal Disease: Cohort Study of Decision-Making and Clinical Outcomes

TL;DR: It is concluded that beside a patient's individual refusal, late referral, social isolation, low functional capacity, and diabetes may have oriented medical decision toward withholding dialysis in a significant proportion of pre-ESRD octogenarians.
