There are an increasing number of elderly Australians with kidney failure. Some of these people choose to have dialysis whilst others do not. There is little evidence on which to base this decision and a lack of dedicated services for patients who choose not to have dialysis. This research aims to understand the complete experience of older kidney failure patients by examining survival, quality of life, symptom burden, impact on carers and factors behind treatment decisions. It will also explore the effect of specialised services on outcomes.

越来越多的老年澳大利亚人患有肾衰竭。其中一些人选择进行透析，而另一些人则不选择。几乎没有证据可以作为这一决定的依据，也没有为选择不进行透析的患者提供专门的服务。这项研究旨在通过检查存活率、生活质量、症状负担、对照顾者的影响以及治疗决定背后的因素来了解老年肾功能衰竭患者的完整经历。它还将探讨专门服务对结果的影响。
