Survival Prediction Calculator

The Dialysis vs. Kidney Transplant- Estimated Survival in Ontario risk calculator is a tool for doctors, social workers, nurses, and/or patient educators to use with patients with kidney disease. The tool was created to help patients make more educated treatment decisions and shows estimates for a patient's 3-year risk of survival and death with different treatment options (dialysis or transplant). This tool has only been externally validated in the Ontario dialysis population and cannot be used to estimate risk in the pre-dialysis population. To see a patient's estimated risk in two different situations, please fill out the patient information in the form below on the left.The Dialysis vs. Kidney Transplant - Estimated Survival in Ontario risk calculator should not be used to identify patients who may not be good transplant candidates and should only be used with patients who are reasonable candidates for a kidney transplant. Please review the Instructions for Use document prior to using the Dialysis vs. Kidney Transplant- Estimated Survival in Ontario risk calculator.

The concept for this app was developed by Emory University and a team of researchers at Emory University, including Rachel E. Patzer, PhD, MPH, Mohua Basu, MPH, Michael Konomos, MS, Michael Patzer, BS, Christian Larsen, MD, DPhil, William M. McClellan, MD, MPH, David Howard, PhD, and Kimberly Jacob Arriola, PhD, MPH. The Dialysis vs. Kidney Transplant- Estimated Survival in Ontario website is not sponsored or endorsed by Emory or otherwise connected with Emory. The data used to externally validate the models created by the Emory University team of researchers is based on Ontario data from 2004-2016. Data was validated by a team of Canadian researchers, including Kyla L. Naylor, PhD, Amit X. Garg, MD, PhD, Eric McArthur, MSc, Vivian Tan, BSc, and Megan McCallum, MPH. Authors have no conflicts of interest; authors and author affiliations are not affected by the decisions patients make after using the Dialysis vs. Kidney Transplant- Estimated Survival in Ontario tool. Support for this work was funded in part by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) SPOR Networks in Chronic Disease (Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease [Can-SOLVE CKD]) (https://cansolveckd.ca).
