Recommendations are needed on when the process of assessment and preparation for RRT or conservative management should commence. This review applies to people requiring referral to secondary care renal services and those already in these services but who are not yet having assessment for RRT.</p></div><div id="ch5.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="ch5.s1.8.1"><h4>1.8.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="ch5.s1.8.1.1"><h5>1.8.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>Critical outcomes were mortality, quality of life, hospitalisation, symptom scores and time to failure of RRT.</p><p>Other important outcomes were numbers of measures of mental wellbeing and cognitive impairment, malignancy and adverse events. Growth is considered an important outcome in children. We were also interested in outcomes representing people&#x02019;s experience of care.</p></div><div id="ch5.s1.8.1.2"><h5>1.8.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The GC noted that the only study identified for this review did not specifically assess the importance of the timing of referral for RRT assessment but rather assessed the importance of the timing of a nephrology referral. A nephrology referral may be for a variety of reasons other than assessment for RRT, including investigating the aetiology of the condition and actions to treat and monitor the condition and preserve renal function. The assessment for RRT happens within renal services, but often requires transfer of patient care from an individual consultant-led review to a multidisciplinary review. This usually follows recognition that the person with kidney disease has now reached a stage where plans need to be made to manage the progressive nature of their condition, and the multidisciplinary team is needed to cover all aspects of the person&#x02019;s care and future care plans. Therefore, the committee agreed that this evidence was appropriate to include but noted that it did not exactly mirror the target intervention of the review</p><p>The committee noted that the evidence identified in this review represented a comparison between very late referral versus not very late referral. The very late referral group perhaps more accurately represented people having an unplanned start to dialysis, although the population had been documented as having a diagnosis of CKD for at least one year. The committee noted the impact of the study being set in the US with a different primary care system than in the UK.</p><p>The committee noted that referral to nephrologist is only a proxy for the full multidisciplinary assessment required.</p></div><div id="ch5.s1.8.1.3"><h5>1.8.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>The evidence showed at 90 days there was a harm of late referral in terms of higher mortality compared to earlier referral. At 90 days to a year the difference in mortality was no longer clinically different</p><p>The committee discussed how practically the amount of time required for assessment reflects both the speed of accomplishing the various tasks involved in assessment but also the time needed for people to deliberate over decisions that have to be made in this period.</p><p>The committee noted that alongside the more obvious benefits of early referral (for example ensuring full preparation and assessment, avoiding unplanned starts and improving pre-emptive transplantation rates) there are potential harms of early referral in the form of unnecessary treatment or psychological burden for people who are referred for consideration of RRT but then never go on to require it. Therefore when considering when to refer for assessment there is a need to balance allowing sufficient time to prepare for RRT with minimising referral of those that will never receive it.</p></div></div><div id="ch5.s1.8.2"><h4>1.8.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No relevant health economic studies were identified.</p><p>The potential benefits of assessing people earlier described above (reducing unplanned starters and increasing pre-emptive transplant rates) may result in lower resource use and benefits to patients that may increase QALYs. The committee highlighted that reducing unplanned starters would be expected to reduce costs because they will generally require a hospital admission for a number of days and it is likely it will also require additional access procedures. Improving access to pre-emptive transplant was also considered likely to result in better outcomes for patients and may reduce costs (due to avoiding starting dialysis and reducing transplant failure).</p><p>However, conversely the potential harms described above (assessment in people who do not go on to need RRT) would increase resource use and could potentially have a negative impact on patient QALYs if quality of life was reduced. The cost of this would relate to outpatient appointments for general assessment for RRT and, in parallel, assessment and tests to assess suitability for transplant. A series of healthcare contacts with doctors and/or nurses is required to support the decision making process. If dialysis access is created, this will be associated with resource use such as an outpatient appointment with a surgeon, scans, the surgery itself and follow-up.</p><p>No studies were available that allowed quantitative assessment of this trade-off. However, the committee felt that referring people at least 1 year before it is anticipated they would need RRT was practical and would strike a reasonable balance between maximising adequate assessment and preparation without unduly increasing the number of people being assessed. The committee highlighted that this generally reflects current practice should not be a significant change in practice or have a substantial resource impact to the NHS in England.</p></div><div id="ch5.s1.8.3"><h4>1.8.3.

<b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the Committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the Committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. For example, if a high quality study from a UK perspective is available a similar study from another country&#x02019;s perspective may be excluded.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>

<p><i>Quality and relevance of effectiveness data used in the economic analysis:</i>
<ul id="ch5.l19"><li id="ch5.lt75" class="half_rhythm"><div>The more closely the clinical effectiveness data used in the economic analysis matches with the outcomes of the studies included in the clinical review the more useful the analysis will be for decision-making in the guideline.</div></li><li id="ch5.lt76" class="half_rhythm"><div>The following will be rated as &#x02018;Very serious limitations&#x02019; and excluded: economic analyses undertaken as part of clinical studies that are excluded from the clinical review; economic models where relative treatment effects are based entirely on studies that are excluded from the clinical review; comparative costing analyses that only look at the cost of delivering dialysis (as current UK NHS reference costs are considered a more relevant estimate of this for the guideline); within-trial economic analyses based on non-randomised studies that do not meet the minimum adjustment criteria outlined in the main review protocol.</div></li></ul></p>
