简要总结
The objective of this application is to conduct a pilot study testing the impact of integrated nephrology and palliative care versus standard nephrology care on patient-reported outcomes. This study is a preliminary study designed to determine feasibility of a palliative care study inclusive of kidney disease patients and to look for trends in impact over a 12-week follow-up period. Measurements will be taken at time one (time of enrollment) and time two (12 weeks). Our central hypothesis is that integration of palliative care with standard nephrology care in the ambulatory care of patients with a glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤15ml/min/1.73m2 will trend towards improved symptom control, quality of life, and increased documentation of advance care planning when compared to usual nephrology care. We expect 10-15 patients per arm.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in KDQOL-SF 36 Quality of Life Scores
时间窗: Baseline, week 12
The KDQOL-36 has five scales, including two generic HRQOL scales from the SF-12 version 1 (12 items total) and three kidney-specific scales (24 items total). The SF-12 PCS and MCS are scored on a T-score metric (mean=50, SD=10, in the United States general population), with higher scores indicating better HRQOL.
Difference between the number of documented advanced care planning between arms
时间窗: Week 12
advanced care planning = health care proxy, Medical Order for Life Sustaining Treatment \[MOLST\], or a Do Not Resituate form
Change in IPOS-Renal symptom assessment score
时间窗: Baseline, week 12
IPOS-Renal is a short measure (11 questions), combining the most common symptoms renal patients experience plus additional items from IPOS on concerns beyond symptoms, such as information needs, practical issues, family anxiety. The total score reflects symptom burden and can range from zero to 68, where 0 is least symptom burden and 68 is highest symptom burden.
次要结局
- percent of returned clinical surveys (IPOS-R and KDQOL-SF 36(12 weeks)
- retention patients at the end of the study(12 weeks)
- patient satisfaction as rated on the Press Ganey Survey(12 weeks)
