Trial summary

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) presents a heavy burden on a patient's psychological and social life, as well as overall quality of life (QoL). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in dialysis patients measures the physical, social or emotional well-being that is affected by ESRD and/or its treatment, and has been… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Patient-Reported, Economic and Clinical Outcomes Between Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients in a Multi-Ethnic Asian Population

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) presents a heavy burden on a patient's psychological and social life, as well as overall quality of life (QoL). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in dialysis patients measures the physical, social or emotional well-being that is affected by ESRD and/or its treatment, and has been increasingly used as an outcome measure in interventional studies. Additionally, associations between social support and QoL have been observed, indicating that improved social support could improve HRQoL, morbidity and mortality in ESRD patients. However, it is not clear if hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) have different impacts on HRQoL. Furthermore, comparisons of HRQoL and social support between HD and PD patients in the multiethnic society of Singapore have not been evaluated. As such, the investigators propose to conduct this cross-sectional study in the investigators local multiethnic ESRD patient population to evaluate and compare patient-reported outcomes (HRQoL and social support), economic and clinical laboratory outcomes in HD and PD patients.

All chronic HD and PD patients seen in NUH outpatient renal or PD clinic will be included in this cross-sectional, observational study. Information on patient demographics, medical/medication histories, dialysis vintage, clinical laboratory data and associated medical costs will be obtained from clinic notes, electronic medical records and hospital databases. Patient-reported outcomes will be determined from scores of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form, EuroQol 5 Dimensions, Family Functioning Measure, Oslo-3 Social Support Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and Health Services Utilization questionnaires (for indirect costs), and compared between HD and PD patients.

Results from this study will provide important HRQoL information to assist renal physicians and patients to make treatment decisions. Furthermore, intervention programs could be developed to improve social support based on patients' needs. These could in turn improve patients' HRQoL, morbidity and mortality outcomes with minimal risks involved.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease and Hemodialysis, run by National University of Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Singapore. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient-Reported, Economic and Clinical Outcomes. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2015.
