The Role of Caregiving in Healthcare Utilization Among Obese Living Kidney Donors
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Caregivers and Non-caregivers for Utilization, Health Care and Obesity. Completed, enrolled 784 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to estimate risk of post-donation healthcare use attributable to informal caregiving among obese living donors. Improving our understanding of the relationship between caregiving, donation, and healthcare use will allow us to improve living donor informed consent and post-donation care, particularly among older donors and those of minority race/ethnicity.
