Depression and Dialysis- Reviewing the ASCEND Study
Release Date:
This episode discusses depression in people on dialysis in light of the PCORI-funded ASCEND study. Major depressive disorder is four times more common in people undergoing long-term dialysis than in the general population and is associated with greater non-adherence, higher healthcare utilization, poorer quality of life, and higher mortality. A panel discussion puts these results in perspective and discusses next steps in the treatment of depression from the vantage point of the study team.
