Task shifting roles, interventions and outcomes for kidney and cardiovascular health service delivery among African populations: a scoping review.

Background: Human resources for health (HRH) shortages are a major limitation to equitable access to healthcare. African countries have the most severe shortage of HRH in the world despite rising communicable and non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. Task shifting provides an opportunity to fill the gaps in HRH shortage in Africa.

Establishing a Core Outcome Measure for Peritoneal Dialysis-related Peritonitis: A Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Peritoneal Dialysis Consensus Workshop Report.

Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is one of the leading causes of discontinuation of PD and is considered a critically important outcome for patients on PD. However, there is no universally accepted method of measuring this outcome in clinical trials.

Methods: We convened an online consensus workshop to establish a core outcome measure for PD-related peritonitis in clinical trials.
