Abstract

Background and Aims

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use and relevance of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs). The main objective of the study is to analyze scores in quality of life, anxiety, depression, and functional capacity using tests that assess PREMs and PROMs in patients at different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Method

Multicenter, cross-sectional, observational, non-interventional study with 281 patients (84 on hemodialysis, 48 on peritoneal dialysis, 50 with kidney transplant, 50 with advanced CKD, and 49 patients with CKD stages 1-2). Two professionals conducted interviews for data collection from all patients. Collected data: For PROMs: PFS (Piper Fatigue Scale), HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), FACIT-F (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale), SF-36, VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). For PREMs - PACIC test (Patients' Assessment of Chronic Illness Care), in addition to other comorbidity indices and laboratory analyses. ANOVA statistical analysis was used for group comparison.

Results

Although patients showed significant differences in age and comorbidities, our analysis shows that the most PROMs do not discriminate between different stages of CKD. The PROMs that most discriminate between different stages of CKD are those related to the Piper Fatigue Scale test. PREMs, analyzed using the PACIC scale, do achieve said discrimination (Table 1).

Conclusion

The analysis of PROMs and PREMs show the significant impact that CKD has on health-related quality of life. Some PROMs can discriminate between different stages of CKD, but the most effective ones are PREMs, which are an indirect indicator of the quality of care received, contributing to patient involvement in decision-making and empowerment.
