Nephrologist care and mortality in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.
Arch Intern Med. 2002; (17): 2002-6
For patients with chronic renal insufficiency, rates of referral to nephrologists are highly variable, and little is known about the effect of such consultation on clinical outcomes. We sought to determine whether early or frequent access to nephrologist care prior to the initiation of dialysis was associated with a difference in mortality rates in the first year after dialysis began.
