Abstract

Among people receiving maintenance dialysis, little is known about racial disparities in the occurrence of prognostic discussions, beliefs about future health, and completion of advance care planning (ACP) documents. We examined whether Black patients receiving maintenance dialysis differ from White patients in prognostic discussions, beliefs about future health, and completion of ACP-related documents.
