Routine provision of feedback from patient-reported outcome measurements to healthcare providers and patients in clinical practice.

Background: Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) assess a patient's subjective appraisal of health outcomes from their own perspective. Despite hypothesised benefits that feedback  on PROMs can support decision-making in clinical practice and improve outcomes, there is uncertainty surrounding the effectiveness of PROMs feedback.

Non-linear renal function decline is frequent in patients with type 2 diabetes who progress fast to end-stage renal disease and is associated with African-Caribbean ethnicity and HbA variability.

To our knowledge, there are no studies examining eGFR trajectories in an ethnically diverse cohort of T2DM patients with established DKD and long follow-up. We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of T2DM patients attending a specialist diabetes renal clinic in order to identify risk factors and specific eGFR trajectories associated with ESRD. There is limited information and long term follow-up on eGFR trajectories in ethnically diverse cohorts of T2DM patients with established diabetic kidney disease.
