Range and Heterogeneity of Outcomes in Randomized Trials of Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract: The outcomes reported in clinical trials involving children with CKD are extremely heterogeneous and are most often surrogate outcomes, rather than clinical and patient-centered outcomes such as cardiovascular disease and quality of life. Efforts to ensure consistent reporting of outcomes that are important to patients and clinicians will improve the value of trials to guide clinical decision-making. In our study, non-English articles were excluded.

“…There is no precise information about the global prevalence of CKD in children; however, studies show that in Europe, there are 11 to 12 cases per million of age-related population (pmarp) [5,6]. CKD in children is associated with cardiovascular complications, and the identification of the causes, especially in children, help improve treatment and prevent progression of the disease [7]. The causes of CKD in children are very different from those in adults [5,8].…”

“…The challenges in communication and shared decision-making are highly relevant in childhood chronic kidney disease (CKD). Children with CKD have a 30-fold increased risk of mortality compared with the age-matched population, and are at risk of serious comorbidities and impaired quality of life, which can limit their perceived capacity to participate in shared decision-making (3,17). Limited evidence exists on communicating and shared decision-making with children and families dealing with chronic and complex disorders (15,16,18).…”

“…The decision regarding choice of outcome measures should be based upon a core outcome set achieved through consensus, such as is the case with The Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (PedIMMPACT, McGrath et al., ) and The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT, Tugwell et al., ). Although core outcomes in pediatrics are generally lacking (Chong et al., ), OMERACT and PedIMMPACT have contributed to improved trial feasibility (in these populations) and relevance and acceptability of trial endpoints on a global scale (Bertinotti, Nacci, & Matucci‐Cerinic, ; Sinha et al., ). This has not yet been addressed for VA outcomes, and in the context of a registry dataset, standardization of outcome measures and time points would be essential to positively impact the useability of registry data by researchers, clinicians, and health care.…”
