Five key themes emerged regarding prognostic information. First, most patients avoided prognostic information, especially time-based prognoses. Second, CPs desired a broader range of prognostic information. Third, both patients and CPs had dynamic shifts in their views on prognosis during the course of the interviews. Fourth, differing prognostic information concepts within patient-CP dyads, and fifth, spirituality, family, and dialysis staff were sources of strength for patients in integrating prognostic information.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Differing and dynamic needs for prognostic information by patients and CPs highlight the need for flexible, longitudinal communication interventions that can follow these evolving preferences.
