Each centre invited patients receiving outpatient treatment for kidney disease to complete the PREM. These included patients with chronic kidney disease, those receiving dialysis\u2014both HD and peritoneal dialysis, and those with a functioning kidney transplant. There were no formal inclusion\/exclusion criteria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main outcome measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The Kidney PREM has 38 questions in 13 subscales.

The primary outcome of interest was the mean PREM score calculated across all questions.

There was significant variation in mean PREM score across centres (5.35\u20136.53). In the multivariable analysis there was some variation in relation to both patient- and centre-level factors but these contributed little to explaining the overall variation. However, multilevel modelling showed that the overwhelming proportion of the explained variance (45%) was explained by variation between centres (40%), only a small proportion of which is identified by measured factors. Only 5% of the variation was related to patient-level factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Centre rather than patient characteristics determine the experience of care of patients receiving HD.
