Summary

The investigators will assess the prediction performance of the modified Surprise Question (Will the participant be surprised if this patient transfers to hemodialysis in the next 6 months?) for identification of peritoneal dialysis at high risk of transfer to hemodialysis. The investigators will also assess the prediction performance of a modified mortality surprise question (Will the participant be surprised if this patient dies in the next 6 months?).

Detailed description

Physicians and nurses will be asked two questions regarding each of their peritoneal dialysis patients: 1. Will the participant be surprised if this patient transfers to hemodialysis in the next 6 months? 2. Will the participant be surprised if this patient dies in the next 6 months? Patients will be followed for 6 months for outcomes (with two extra months for ascertainment of outcomes).
