Multidisciplinary care (MDC) is known to improve the management of chronic diseases. In this study, we investigated whether MDC improves outcomes in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND MEASUREMENTS: In this retrospective case-control study we have compared the outcomes at the point of starting dialysis and beyond between a cohort of MDC patients (n = 171) and a cohort of nephrology patients (n = 194). The groups were well-matched demographically and were seen in the clinic for at least 3 months before starting dialysis. Dialysis access, blood pressure, haemoglobin, various biochemical parameters, hospital admissions, and survival were compared between the 2 groups.
