About this study

Official title: Behaviour and Cognitive Evaluation for Dialysis Elderly Patients

The trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open study. A total of 500 elderly patients aged over 75 years with renal insufficiency stage 5 will be included in the study after signed informed consent. Patients will be randomized 1/1 in two arms : 250 patients in the "exclusive nephrology follow-up" arm will continue their usual follow-up; 250 patients in the "geriatric follow-up" arm will have both their usual nephrology follow-up and a geriatric follow-up.The aim of the study is to determine if a systematized gerontologist evaluation delay the occurrence of a composite primary endpoint : death, dementia, depression and severe dependency. The hypothesis is that the functional and vital prognosis of a patient with renal insufficiency depends not only on common and classical factors but also on cognitive and psychological functions and dependence, particularly in elderly patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Exclusive nephrology follow-upOther

    250 patients will be included and randomized in the "exclusive nephrology follow-up" arm will continue their usual nephrology follow-up with consultations every 6 months during 3 years for dialysis patients or with consultations every 6 months before dialysis, 3 months after starting dialysis and every 6 months for a total duration of 3 years for non-dialysis patients. In addition to their nephrology consultations, patients will benefit from a geriatric evaluation with MMS, GDS and ADL scoring.

  • Geriatric follow-upOther

    250 patients will be included and randomized in "geriatric follow-up" arm will continue their usual nephrology follow-up with consultations every 6 months during 3 years for dialysis patients or with consultations every 6 months before dialysis, 3 months after starting dialysis and every 6 months for a total duration of 3 years for non-dialysis patients. Patients randomized in the "geriatric follow-up" arm will also have more complete tests to evaluate cognitive functions (memory, language and movements), psychological functions (depression and anxiety) and dependency in activities of daily living. Other tests will allow evaluate vision, audition, mobility and nutritional status.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. First outcome reached among: - death, - occurrence of a severe dementia (MMS < 10),- major depression detected by GDS-15 > 10/15 and confirmed by DSM-IV criteria,- severe dependency (ADL < 3/6).

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcomes are: - cognitive, psychic and autonomy scores,- cardiovascular morbidity and mortality,- biological follow-up of chronic kidney disease including haemoglobin level.

    Measured: 3 years
