Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are becoming increasingly important in healthcare. In nephrology, there is no agreement on which chronic kidney disease (CKD) symptom questionnaire to use. Therefore, the aim of this study select a valid for routine assessment patients with advanced CKD. A four-phase mixed methods approach, using qualitative and quantitative research methods, was applied. First, systematic literature search conducted retrieve existing questionnaires. Second, list...
Objectives Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide insight into patients’ experienced health and needs, can improve patient–professional communication. However, little is known about how to discuss PROM results. This study aimed in-depth knowledge of healthcare professionals’ experiences with perspectives on discussing results as part routine dialysis care. Design A qualitative was performed using an interpretive description approach. Individual semistructured interviews were...
ABSTRACT Background Itching (pruritus) is common in dialysis patients, but little known about its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), sleep problems and psychological symptoms. This study investigates the itching patients by looking into persistence itching, effect course HRQOL combined with symptoms HRQOL. Methods Data were obtained from RENINE/PROMs registry included 2978 who completed patient-reported outcome measures between 2018 2020. Itching, assessed Dialysis Symptom...
Abstract Background Reviews of qualitative studies allow for deeper understanding concepts and findings beyond the single studies. Concerns on study reporting quality led to publication COREQ-guidelines in 2007, followed by ENTREQ-guidelines reviews 2012. The aim this meta-review is to: 1) investigate uptake COREQ- ENTREQ- checklists reviews; 2) compare primary included within these prior- post COREQ-publication. Methods were searched 02-Sept-2020 categorized as (1) or (2) ENTREQ-using, (3)...
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) has been recommended for computerized adaptive testing (CAT) of health-related quality life. This study compared the content, validity, and reliability seven PROMIS CATs to 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.Adult disease an estimated glomerular filtration rate under 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 who were not receiving dialysis treatment completed (assessing physical function,...
Background and objective Several early life determinants play a role in childhood obesity. Rapid weight gain overweight infancy increases the risk while breast feeding seems to protect against overweight. However, should we worry about exclusively breastfed infants? The aim of study is examine association type (exclusive (EBF), formula or mixed feeding) at age 6 months with 5–6 years. Methods Amsterdam Born Children their Development large prospective population-based birth cohort conducted...
ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease–associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is common in dialysis patients, and associated with lower quality of life increased risk death. We investigated the association between residual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), adequacy or serum phosphate level CKD-aP incident patients. Methods A total 1256 hemodialysis (HD) 670 peritoneal (PD) patients (>18 years) from Netherlands Cooperative Study on Adequacy Dialysis (NECOSAD) study were included...
Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) are increasingly prevalent in healthcare and used for shared decision-making quality evaluation. However, the extent to which patients with varying health literacy levels can complete PROMs is often overlooked. This may lead biased aggregated data being excluded from studies or other PROM collection initiatives. cross-sectional study evaluates comprehensibility of 157 well-known widely scales using a checklist.
While several observational studies suggested a lower postoperative mortality after minimal invasive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic (RAAA) compared to conventional open surgical (OSR), landmark randomized controlled trials have not been able prove the superiority of EVAR over OSR. Randomized contain selected, homogeneous population, influencing external validity. Observational are biased and adjustment confounders can be incomplete....
Abstract Background Increased use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and reduced open surgical (OSR), has decreased postoperative mortality after elective abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The choice between EVAR or OSR depends on anatomy, the experience preference vascular surgeon, therefore differs hospitals. aim this study was to investigate current risk difference (RD) OSR, effect hospital for overall mortality. Methods Primary infrarenal juxtarenal repairs registered in Dutch...
Abstract Background The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) has the potential to harmonize measurement of health-related quality life (HRQL) across medical conditions. We evaluated responsiveness and minimal important change (MIC) seven Dutch-Flemish PROMIS computerized adaptive tests (CAT) in Dutch patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods CKD (eGFR < 30 ml/min.1.73m 2 ) completed at baseline after 6 months CATs (assessing physical...
