Interactive Videoconferencing in the Provision of Remote Peritoneal Dialysis

Completed

Conditions studied: ESRD

In brief

Home dialysis patients must be seen in a face to face visit on a monthly basis. For patients who live remotely these visits may impact their quality of life due to the amount of time needed to attend these visits. The central hypothesis is that implementation of telemedicine visits as a substitute for the 2 out of 3 monthly face-to-face visits over a 6 month period will improve quality of life as judged by the quality of life (QoL) indices Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short Form and the Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale when compared to QoL scales taken during a time period when the patient is on standard of care.
