Abstract
Early-stage (stage 1-3) chronic kidney disease (CKD) has an asymptomatic presentation such that most people with CKD are unaware of their disease status and remain undiagnosed. CKD is associated with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC), or multimorbidity, the most common of these being cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Primary care practitioners (PCPs) are crucial in the early identification and management of patients with CKD. For individuals at high risk of CKD, measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin-creatinine ratio, and blood pressure should be obtained regularly and recorded in a timely manner. The importance of lifestyle changes in the prevention and management of CKD should also be highlighted. A recent addition to the treatment of CKD in people with and without type 2 diabetes has been the recommendation by clinical practice guidelines of a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor alongside a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor as foundational therapy. SGLT2 inhibitors prevent CKD progression and reduce fatal and non-fatal kidney and cardiovascular events, hospitalization for heart failure, and all-cause mortality, and they have a favorable safety and tolerability profile. However, uptake has been slow, particularly in people with CKD without type 2 diabetes. A multifaceted approach is required to ensure that people with CKD receive optimal kidney protection. Measures to raise awareness of the importance of early identification and intervention include local/national campaigns via social media and practice-based education; clinical education programs; integration of clinical decision support tools into electronic health records; detection programs built around electronic health records; and good interdisciplinary communication. PCPs at the forefront of multidisciplinary care are best placed to implement the evidence-based clinical practice CKD guidelines for lifestyle modification and guideline-directed medical therapy.

Abstract
Kidney services worldwide are increasingly using digital health technologies to deliver care. This includes kidney electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) systems: ambulatory digital technologies that enable the capture of PRO data electronically from people with kidney disease remotely and in real time to be shared with their kidney care team. Current kidney ePRO systems commonly aim to support the monitoring and management of symptoms in patients with kidney disease. The majority have thus far only been implemented in research settings and are not yet routinely used in clinical practice, leaving their readiness for real-world implementation largely unknown. Compared with paper-based PRO collection, ePRO systems have certain advantages, which we categorize as efficiency benefits (e.g., lower administrative burden), direct patient care benefits (e.g., automated PRO-based patient education), and health system and research benefits (e.g., collecting ePRO data once for multiple purposes). At the same time, kidney ePRO systems come with drawbacks, such as their potential to exacerbate existing inequities in care and outcomes and to negatively affect staff burden and patients' experience of kidney care. Areas that hold promise for expediting the development and uptake of kidney ePRO systems at the local, organizational, and national level include harnessing national kidney registries as enabling infrastructures; using novel data-driven technologies (e.g., computerized adaptive test systems, configurable dashboards); applying implementation science and action research approaches to enhance translation of ePRO research findings into clinical practice; and engaging stakeholders, including patients and carers, health care professionals, policymakers, payers, ePRO experts, technology providers, and organizations that monitor and improve the quality of kidney services.

Anaemia and quality of life in chronic kidney disease: a consensus document from the European Anaemia of CKD Alliance. Clin Kidney J 2024; 17:sfae205. [PMID: 39135937 PMCID: PMC11318044 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfae205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Anaemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has a significant impact on quality of life (QoL), work productivity and outcomes. Current management includes oral or intravenous iron and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), to which hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) have been recently added, increasing the available therapeutic options. In randomised controlled trials, only intravenous iron improved cardiovascular outcome, while some ESAs were associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events. Despite therapeutic advances, several challenges and unmet needs remain in the current management of anaemia of CKD. In particular, clinical practice does not include an assessment of QoL, which prompted a group of European nephrologists and representatives of patient advocacy groups to revisit the current approach. In this consensus document, the authors propose a move towards a more holistic, personalised and long-term approach, based on existing evidence. The focus of treatment should be on improving QoL without increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, and tailoring management strategies to the needs of the individual. In addition, the authors discuss the suitability of a currently available anaemia of CKD-specific health-related QoL measure for inclusion in the routine clinical management of anaemia of CKD. The authors also outline the logistics and challenges of incorporating such a measure into electronic health records and how it may be used to improve QoL for people with anaemia of CKD.

Feasibility of Symptom monitoring WIth Feedback Trial (SWIFT) for adults on hemodialysis: a registry-based cluster randomized pilot trial. BMC Nephrol 2023; 24:345. [PMID: 37993776 PMCID: PMC10666372 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-023-03399-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with kidney failure on hemodialysis (HD) experience considerable symptom burden and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). There is limited use of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in facility HD units to direct immediate care, with response rates in other studies between 36 to 70%. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate feasibility of electronic PROMs (e-PROMs) in HD participants, with feedback 3-monthly to the participants' treating team, for severe or worsening symptoms as identified by the Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale (IPOS-Renal), with linkage to the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) registry, compared with usual care. METHODS This is a registry-based cluster-randomized controlled pilot trial involving all adults receiving HD in 4 satellite units in Australia over a 6-month period. HD units were cluster randomized 1:1 to the control (HRQoL data collection only) or intervention arm (symptom monitoring with feedback to treating team every 3 months). Feasibility was assessed by participant response rate (percentage of eligible HD participants, including new incident participants, who completed the questionnaire at each time point); retention rate (percentage of participants who completed the baseline questionnaire and all subsequent measures); and completion time. HRQoL and symptom burden scores are described. RESULTS There were 226 unique participants who completed the e-PROMs (mean age 62 years, 69% males, 78% White-European, median dialysis vintage 1.62 years). At 6 months, response rate and retention rate for the intervention arm were 54% and 68%, respectively, and 89% and 97% in the control arm. Median time to complete IPOS-Renal was 6.6 min (5.3, 10.1) at 3 months, and when combined with the outcome measure (EQ-5D-5L), the median time was 9.4 min (6.9, 13.6) at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Electronic symptom monitoring among HD participants with feedback to clinicians is feasible. Variations in response and retention rates could be potentially explained by the lengthier questionnaire, and higher frequency of data collection time points for participants in the intervention arm. A definitive national RCT is underway. TRIAL REGISTRATION ACTRN12618001976279 (07/12/2018).

Abstract
Background Kidney services vary in the way they involve people with kidney failure (PwKF) in treatment decisions as management needs change. We discuss how decision-science applications support proactively PwKF to make informed decisions between treatment options with kidney professionals. Methods A conceptual review of findings about decision making and use of decision aids in kidney services, synthesized with reference to: the Making Informed Decisions-Individually and Together (MIND-IT) multiple stakeholder decision makers framework; and the Medical Research Council-Complex Intervention Development and Evaluation research framework. Results This schema represents the different types of decision aids that support PwKF and professional reasoning as they manage kidney disease individually and together; adjustments at micro, meso and macro levels supports integration in practice. Conclusion Innovating services to meet clinical guidelines on enhancing shared decision making processes means enabling all stakeholders to use decision aids to meet their goals within kidney pathways at individual, service and organizational levels.

Abstract
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the REIN (French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network), a summary work on the contributions of the national French ESKD register was carried out. On the issue of patients’ perspectives, the following key messages were retained. As shown by the SONG (Standardised Outcomes in Nephrology) initiative, the criteria for judging the dialysis treatment that patients and care-givers prefer are not those that are traditionally found in published studies. For example, for haemodialysis, they are fatigue, ability to travel, time without dialysis, impact on family and ability to work. The concern to give the patients a voice has been at the heart of the REIN registry right from the outset. In addition, there are patient representatives in the REIN Scientific Council and the Steering Group. Although mainly focused on quantitative health data collected from professionals, REIN has also supported studies pertaining to data collected directly from patients. These studies enable addressing questions pertaining to the problems faced by patients in their care pathway and their life with the disease. The setting up of a tool for routine and electronic collection of the patients’ point of view in the evaluation of their treatment and the support of patient-initiated research contribute to positioning the REIN as a partner tool at the service of patients, unique in France.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) systems to support the management of patients with chronic kidney disease is increasing. This mixed-methods study aimed to comprehensively identify existing and developing ePRO systems, used in nephrology settings globally, ascertaining key characteristics and factors for successful implementation. STUDY DESIGN ePRO systems and developers were identified through a scoping review of the literature and contact with field experts. Developers were invited to participate in a structured survey, to summarise key system characteristics including: (1) system objectives, (2) population, (3) PRO measures used, (4) level of automation, (5) reporting, (6) integration into workflow and (7) links to electronic health records/national registries. Subsequent semistructured interviews were conducted to explore responses. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Eligible systems included those being developed or used in nephrology settings to assess ePROs and summarise results to care providers. System developers included those with a key responsibility for aspects of the design, development or implementation of an eligible system. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Structured survey data were summarised using descriptive statistics. Interview transcripts were analysed using Codebook Thematic Analysis using domains from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. RESULTS Fifteen unique ePRO systems were identified across seven countries; 10 system developers completed the structured survey and 7 participated in semistructured interviews. Despite system heterogeneity, reported features required for effective implementation included early and sustained patient involvement, clinician champions and expanding existing electronic platforms to integrate ePROs. Systems demonstrated several common features, with the majority being implemented within research settings, thereby affecting system implementation readiness for real-world application. CONCLUSIONS There has been considerable research investment in ePRO systems. The findings of this study outline key system features and factors to support the successful implementation of ePROs in routine kidney care.Cite Now.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various interventions are reportedly effective in promoting organ donor registration. However, the identity of those who best serve as presenters to appeal to the general public is not known. METHODS A campaign for organ donor registration was conducted through a local newspaper advertisement in Japan. The advertisement appeared in 439,733 copies of the newspaper on January 9, 2021. In addition to the main message, 6 different presenters with photos of their faces and quick response codes were listed in the advertisement, namely a urologist, transplant physician, nephrologist, dialysis physician, ophthalmologist, and kidney transplant recipient who was a nephrologist himself (ie, a recipient and nephrologist). Newspaper readers watched each video about deceased organ donation via the quick response codes, and the number of video views acquired 30 days after the appearance was the main outcome, which was assessed using YouTube analytics. The proportions (95% CI) of people who watched each video among 439,733 newspaper readers were compared among the 6 presenters. RESULTS The analyzed videos were viewed 262 times. The video produced by the recipient and nephrologist had the highest number of views among the 6 presenters (proportion: 0.019% [95% CI, 0.015-0.023]), followed by the one produced by the dialysis physician (0.011% [95% CI, 0.008-0.014]), the nephrologist (0.010% [95% CI, 0.007-0.014]), the urologist (0.008% [95% CI, 0.006-0.012]), the transplant physician (0.006% [95% CI, 0.004-0.009]), and the ophthalmologist (0.005% [95% CI, 0.004-0.008]). CONCLUSIONS The appeal by the recipient and the nephrologist reached the highest proportion of people who watched the video about deceased organ donation in Japan.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to illustrate all the clinical epidemiology searches made within the French network REIN to improve CKD stage 4-5 care in older adults. We summarize various studies describing clinical practice, care organization, prognosis and health economics evaluation in order to develop personalized care plans and decision-making tools. In France, for 20 years now, various databases have been mobilized including the national REIN registry which includes all patients receiving dialysis or transplantation. REIN data are indirectly linked to the French administrative healthcare database. They are also pooled with data from the PSPA cohort, a multicenter prospective cohort study of patients aged 75 or over with advanced CKD, monitored for 5 years, and the CKD-REIN clinical-based prospective cohort which included 3033 patients with CKD stage 3-4 from 2013 to 2016. During our various research work, we identified heterogeneous trajectories specific to this growing older population, raising ethical, organizational and economic issues. Renal registries will help clinicians, health providers and policy-makers if suitable decision- making tools are developed and validated.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Patients receiving hemodialysis experience high symptom burden and low quality of life (QOL). Electronic patient-reported outcome measures (e-PROMs) monitoring with feedback to clinicians may be an acceptable intervention to improve health-related QOL for patients receiving hemodialysis. This study explored patient and clinician perspectives on e-PROMs monitoring with feedback to clinicians. STUDY DESIGN Qualitative study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 41 participants (12 patients, 13 nephrologists, 16 dialysis nurses) who participated in a 6-month feasibility pilot study of adults receiving facility-based hemodialysis across 4 Australian units. The intervention consisted of electronic symptom monitoring with feedback to clinicians, who also received evidence-based symptom management recommendations to improve health-related QOL. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Semistructured interviews and focus group discussions explored the feasibility and acceptability of e-PROMs monitoring with feedback to clinicians. We conducted a thematic analysis of transcripts. RESULTS We identified 4 themes: enabling efficient, systematic, and multidisciplinary patient-centered care; experiencing limited data and options for symptom management; requiring familiarity with technology and processes; and identifying barriers and competing priorities. While insufficient patient engagement, logistic/technical challenges, and delayed symptom feedback emerged as barriers to implementation, active engagement by nurses in encouraging and supporting patients during survey completion and clinicians' prompt action after symptom feedback were considered to be facilitators to implementation. LIMITATIONS Limited generalizability due to inclusion of English-speaking participants only. CONCLUSIONS Patients, nurses, and nephrologists considered e-PROMs monitoring with feedback to clinicians feasible for symptom management in hemodialysis. Clinician engagement, patient support, reliable technology, timely symptom feedback, and interventions to address symptom burden are likely to improve its implementation within research and clinical settings.

The Symptom Monitoring with Feedback Trial (SWIFT): protocol for a registry-based cluster randomised controlled trial in haemodialysis. Trials 2022; 23:419.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney failure prevalence is increasing worldwide. Haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplantation are undertaken to extend life with kidney failure. People receiving haemodialysis commonly experience fatigue, pain, nausea, cramping, itching, sleeping difficulties, anxiety and depression. This symptom burden contributes to poor health-related quality of life (QOL) and is a major reason for treatment withdrawal and death. The Symptom monitoring WIth Feedback Trial (SWIFT) will test the hypothesis that regular symptom monitoring with feedback to people receiving haemodialysis and their treating clinical team can improve QOL. METHODS We are conducting an Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) registry-based cluster randomised controlled trial to determine the clinical- and cost-effectiveness at 12 months, of 3-monthly symptom monitoring using the Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale-Renal (IPOS-Renal) survey with clinician feedback, compared with usual care among adults treated with haemodialysis. Participants complete symptom scoring using a tablet, which are provided to participants and to clinicians. The trial aims to recruit 143 satellite haemodialysis centres, (up to 2400 participants). The primary outcome is change in health-related QOL, as measured by EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) instrument. Secondary outcomes include overall survival, symptom severity (including haemodialysis-associated fatigue), healthcare utilisation and cost-effectiveness. DISCUSSION SWIFT is the first registry-based trial in the Australian haemodialysis population to investigate whether regular symptom monitoring with feedback to participants and clinicians improves QOL. SWIFT is embedded in the ANZDATA Registry facilitating pragmatic recruitment from public and private dialysis clinics, throughout Australia. SWIFT will inform future collection, storage and reporting of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) within a clinical quality registry. As the first trial to rigorously estimate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of routine PROMs collection and reporting in haemodialysis units, SWIFT will provide invaluable information to health services, clinicians and researchers working to improve the lives of those with kidney failure.
