Abstract
Introduction: Real-world data from patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited, particularly regarding clinical management, treatment patterns and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the context of new therapies and updated standard of care guidelines.
Methods: DISCOVER CKD is an observational cohort study enrolling adult patients with CKD, defined by an International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code, or with two estimated glomerular filtration rate measures < 75 ml/min/1.73 m2 recorded 91-730 days apart. We describe the demographics, baseline characteristics and patient-reported outcomes of patients enrolled in the prospective phase.
Results: Of 1052 patients (mean age 62.5 years; 36.9% female) enrolled from the USA, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Japan, 727 (69.1%) had stage 2-3b CKD and 325 (30.9%) had stage 4-5 CKD. Overall, 72.4%, 43.0% and 37.5% of patients had histories of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia, respectively. In total, 58.7% and 14.0% were receiving renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), respectively. Compared with patients with stage 2-3b CKD, patients with stage 4-5 CKD reported numerically greater symptom burden across all 11 symptoms measured, numerically worse HRQoL across all eight categories measured using the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire, and numerically greater impairment at work across all four categories measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment chronic kidney disease (WPAI-CKD) questionnaire. Compared with patients with stage 2-3b CKD, a higher proportion of patients with stage 4-5 CKD had anaemia, hyperkalaemia and oedema (49.8% vs. 16.9%, 21.8% vs. 8.4% and 17.5% vs. 9.5%, respectively).
Conclusions: These contemporary real-world data from six countries highlight the substantial symptom, medication and psychosocial burden associated with CKD, and continued gaps in treatment. Graphical abstract available for this article.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
