Starr MC, et al. - Researchers intended to gain insight into food insecurity in children receiving dialysis due to end-stage kidney disease. Dialysis places a significant burden on families. A common and important social determinant of health is food insecurity (defined as uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate food). Food insecurity is seen in more than 20% of US households. Children with chronic medical conditions more often suffer from pediatric food insecurity. Worse outcomes and increased healthcare costs have been observed in relation to the presence of pediatric food insecurity.
