This abstract explores the Dialysis Outcomes and Practices Patterns Study (DOPPS) findings from 1996 to 2000, focusing on the age distribution of hemodialysis patients across different countries. It details demographic trends, prevalent comorbidities, malnourishment, and nutritional parameters categorized by patient age. The study also highlights adherence to treatment, withdrawal rates, and quality of life scores (KDQoL-36) in elderly patients, providing valuable insights for nephrology social work practice and enhancing patient care strategies tailored for this demographic.
