| Annotation | Although there may be under-referral of elderly patients with renal failure to nephrologists, physicians as a whole were liberal in their stated referring or acceptance practice in this particular survey. Although the questionnaire measured only attitudes and not behaviour, the findings were consistent with a rising acceptance rate of elderly patients on to dialysis programmes. |
