Late referral was more common in elderly patients compared to younger ones, with rates of 26% and 34%, respectively (p = 0.027). Regarding one-year mortality, considering patients aged over 75 years with early referral as the reference, patients aged > 75 years with late referral were at higher risk (Hazard Ratio [HR] 2.30, p = 0.001), while patients aged < 75 years with either early or late referral were at similar risk. Regarding overall mortality, patients aged > 75 years with late referral were at higher risk (HR 1.56, p = 0.002), while patients aged < 75 years with either early (HR 0.65, p < 0.001) or late referral (HR 0.62, p = 0.001) were at lower risk. Finally, patients aged over 75 years with late referral had more hospitalization days per year (coef 0.09, p < 0.001), while patients < 75 years with either early (coef - 0.07, p < 0.001) or late referral (coef - 0.05, p < 0.001) had fewer hospitalization days per year.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Late referral of elderly patients prior to dialysis initiation is common and adversely associated with short- and long-term mortality as well as hospitalization days. Conversely, early referral of elderly patients is associated with a favorable short-term prognosis that is comparable to that of younger patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":16542,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nephrology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144957786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
