Patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) with severely impaired cognitive
function have no survival benefit from dialysis. We therefore undertook a survey
to explore the renal physicians' practices of withholding and withdrawal of
dialysis treatment in vegetative state patients in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE). A cross sectional survey of 29 nephrology practices in UAE exploring
physicians' practices in making decisions of withholding and withdrawal of
dialysis treatment during provision end-of-life care for patients in persistent
vegetative state (PVS).The majority of participants practice in governmental
non-for-profit dialysis units (79%), and think they are well prepared to make
decision with patients and family on issues of dialysis withdrawal and
withholding (69%). If a chronic dialysis patient became permanently unconscious
only few respondents (17%) indicated probability of stopping dialysis. On the
other hand, more respondents (48%) reported that dialysis is likely to be
withheld in PVS patients who develop kidney failure. In high risk or poor
prognosis ESKD patients and given how likely they would consider each option
independently, respondents reported they are likely to consider time-limited
dialysis in 78% of the time followed by stopping (46%) or forgoing (27%)
dialysis. Majority of the participants perceived that their decisions in
providing renal care for PVS patients in UAE were influenced by the family
sociocultural beliefs (76% of participants), the current hospital policies (72%
of participants), and by Islamic beliefs (66% of participants). Only few
perceived access to palliative care (30%) and treatment cost (17%) to have an
impact on their decision making.Decisions of initiation and continuation of
dialysis treatment to ESKD patients in PVS are prevalent among nephrology
practices in UAE. Development of local guidelines based on the societal values
along with early integration of palliative kidney failure management care would
be required to improve the quality of provision of end-of-life renal care in UAE.
