Shared Decision Making in Health Care Visits for CKD: Patients' Decisional Role Preferences and Experiences.

Rationale & Objective: Research on shared decision making (SDM) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has focused almost exclusively on the modality of kidney replacement treatment. We explored what other CKD decisions are recognized by patients, what their preferences and experiences are regarding these decisions, and how decisions are made during their interactions with medical care professionals.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
