Dialysis Patients – Refugees from Ukraine 
Follow-up study 

The Russian-Ukrainian war, which started in February 2022, posed an exceptionally high threat to approximately 10,000 Ukrainian dialysis patients due to disruptions in access to dialysis therapy in some parts of the country, and delayed delivery of drugs and equipment supplies. Many patients decided to leave Ukraine and sought further care in either neighboring or more distant countries.
In May-August 2022 the ERA Kidney Relief in Disasters Task Force conducted a survey on distribution, preparedness and management of adults requiring dialysis who were displaced due to the war. Original data of 602 patients were gathered.

This follow-up survey aims to update our knowledge of situation of dialysis patients who left Ukraine due to the war, a year after the first assessment, and a year and a half after the start of the war. Results of this follow-up may lead to a better understanding of the situation of this vulnerable population and may enable a more accurate response to the needs of these patients in the future.

Please answer this survey separately for all patients which you/your center reported in the first ERA survey on the situation of the Ukrainian refugees.
