Background: The symptoms, comorbidities and treatment burden associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be debilitating and limit life participation in patients with CKD not requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT). The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics, content and psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used to assess life participation in patients with CKD.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL from database inception to February 2023 for all studies that reported life participation in patients with CKD (stages 1-5 not requiring kidney replacement therapy).
Background: Non-anaemic iron deficiency is highly prevalent in people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but is underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in earlier stages of CKD. A multicentre trial assessing the effect of intravenous iron supplementation in iron-deficiency but not anaemic people with CKD included a qualitative sub-study that aimed to explore the patient experience and psychosocial impact of living with CKD and iron deficiency, and the experience of the therapeutic intervention (intravenous iron and exercise).
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 trial participants blinded to treatment.
Introduction: The Kidney BEAM randomized controlled trial reported clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical function (sit-to-stand-60, but not the physical component of HRQoL) and patient activation after a 12-week physical activity digital health intervention (DHI). This study explores factors that contributed to the effectiveness of Kidney BEAM through mixed methods analyses.
Methods: Quantitative data analysis was obtained from the recently published primary manuscript.
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review focused on physical activity and sedentary behavior interventions for individuals with frailty and multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), including their caregivers.
- Researchers examined ten databases from 2000 to October 2023, ultimately retaining 155 papers from 144 studies, most of which were randomized controlled trials with participants averaging 73 years old.
- The findings highlighted that most interventions centered on structured exercise, had a high adherence rate, and yielded positive outcomes, but emphasized the need for more research on habitual activity, caregiver involvement, and a deeper understanding of individual characteristics like MLTCs and ethnicity.
Introduction: There is inequity in the provision of physical rehabilitation services for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The Kidney BEAM trial evaluated the clinical value and cost effectiveness of a physical activity digital health intervention (DHI) in CKD.
Methods: In a single-blind, 11 center, randomized controlled trial, 340 adult participants with CKD were randomly assigned to either the Kidney BEAM physical activity DHI or a waitlist control.
