Psychosocial Health Among Young Adults With Kidney Failure: A Longitudinal Follow-up of the SPEAK (Surveying Patients Experiencing Young Adult Kidney Failure) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

There have been no longitudinal studies examining the evolution of psychosocial health of young adults with kidney failure as they age. We aimed to address this in the Surveying Patients Experiencing Young Adult Kidney Failure-2 (SPEAK-2) study.

Study design

5-year follow-up longitudinal survey of the original SPEAK cohort.

Setting & participants

16- to 30-year-olds in the UK receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT) between 2015 and 2017 who participated in the SPEAK study.

Exposure

Kidney failure and KRT modality.

Outcomes

Psychosocial health and lifestyle behaviors.

Analytical approach

Within-cohort changes in psychosocial health were analyzed using the paired t test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and McNemar's test. We compared responses to the age-matched population and examined the impact of changes in KRT modality on psychological health using linear regression for continuous outcome variables as well as logistic, ordered logistic and multinomial logistic regression for binary, ordered categorical and unordered categorical variables, respectively.

Results

We obtained 158 survey responses; 129 had previously responded to SPEAK. Of these, 90% had a kidney transplant. Compared to the general population, respondents were less likely to be married or have children and were more likely to be living with their parents. Respondents had nearly 15 times greater odds of being unable to work due to health (odds ratio [OR] = 14.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 8.0-26.01; P < 0.001). Respondents had poorer quality of life and mental wellbeing and were more likely to report psychological problems (OR = 5.37; 95% CI, 3.45-8.35; P < 0.001). A negative association between remaining on or moving to dialysis and psychosocial health was observed, although this was attenuated when controlling for the psychosocial state in SPEAK.

Limitations

Low response rate resulting in imprecise and potentially biased estimates and impact of COVID-19 pandemic while survey was active on psychosocial health.

Conclusions

Young adults with kidney failure have persistent poorer psychosocial health compared to their healthy peers as they age. Our findings also suggest a potential causal relationship between KRT modality and psychosocial health.

Project description:IntroductionUnderstanding heterogeneity in the prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has implications in management of patients. We aimed to evaluate the comparative risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular (CV) events, and death among patients with CKD in China.MethodsIn total, 3,700 patients with CKD stage 1-4 were recruited from 39 clinical centers in China between 2011 and 2016. New occurrence of ESKD, CV events, and all-cause mortality was recorded until the end of 2017. The crude incidence rate was calculated for each outcome. Ratios of incidence between different outcomes were generated with 95% confidence interval (CI) estimated by 1,000 times of bootstrapping. Multivariable adjusted Cox regression models accounting for competing risk between the outcomes were used to evaluate the association of risk factors with the outcomes.ResultsThe population mean age was 50 ± 14 years, with 58.2% male and 60.3% of glomerulonephritis. After a median follow-up of 4.65 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.71-5.60 years) for ESKD, 4.76 years (IQR: 3.97-5.76 years) for CV events, and 4.84 years (IQR: 3.97-5.76 years) for death, the incidence rates of the 3 outcomes were 3.1, 1.5, and 0.92/100 patient-years, respectively. The ratio for the incidence of ESKD and CV events was 2.15 (95% CI: 1.87, 2.53) and that for incidence of ESKD and death was 3.41 (95% CI: 2.88, 4.08). Significant differences regarding the ratios were detected through levels of age, history of CV disease, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR), and etiology of CKD. In the Cox regression model adjusting for traditional CV and kidney-specific risk factors, older age was associated with a higher risk of CV events and death but a lower risk of ESKD (hazard ratios [HRs] = 1.45 [95% CI: 1.29, 1.64], 1.48 [95% CI: 1.29, 1.70], and 0.78 [95% CI: 0.73, 0.84] per 10 year increase, respectively). By comparison, reduced eGFR was associated with a higher risk of ESKD and death, rather than CV events (HRs = 3.62 [95% CI: 2.96, 4.43], 1.30 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.66], and 1.22 [95% CI: 0.99, 1.49] per 30.26 mL/min/1.73 m2 increase, respectively). Similar patterns were seen for increased uACR (HRs = 1.42 [95% CI: 1.30, 1.55], 1.17 [95% CI: 1.05, 1.30], and 1.07 [95% CI: 0.99, 1.17] per 1 natural log-transformed value increase, respectively).ConclusionESKD was more likely to occur than CV events and death in the population with CKD stage 1-4 in China. Traditional risk factors contributed differently to the comparative risk of the outcomes.

Project description:AimsThere are no previous studies focusing on collaborative follow-ups between hospitals and clinics for patients discharged after acute heart failure (AHF) in Japan. The purpose of this study was to determine the status of collaboration between hospitals and clinics for patients with AHF in Japan and to compare patient characteristics and clinical outcomes using a large Japanese observational database.Methods and resultsOf 4056 consecutive patients hospitalized for AHF in the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry, we analysed 2862 patients discharged to go home, who were divided into 1674 patients (58.5%) followed up at hospitals with index hospitalization (hospital follow-up group) and 1188 (41.5%) followed up in a collaborative fashion with clinics or other general hospitals (collaborative follow-up group). The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization within 1 year after discharge. Previous hospitalization for HF and length of hospital stay longer than 15 days were associated with hospital follow-up. Conversely, ≥80 years of age, hypertension, and cognitive dysfunction were associated with collaborative follow-up. The cumulative 1-year incidence of the primary outcome, all cause death, and cardiovascular death were similar between the hospital and collaborative follow-up groups (31.6% vs. 29.6%, P = 0.51, 13.1% vs, 13.9%, P = 0.35, 8.4% vs. 8.2%, P = 0.96). Even after adjusting for confounders, the difference in risk for patients in the hospital follow-up group relative to those in the collaborative follow-up group remained insignificant for the primary outcome, all-cause death, and cardiovascular death (HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.97-1.27, P = 0.14, HR: 1.10, 95% CI: 0.91-1.33, P = 0.33, HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.87-1.05, P = 0.33). The cumulative 1-year incidence of HF hospitalization was higher in the hospital follow-up group than in the collaborative follow-up group (25.5% vs. 21.3%, P = 0.02). The risk of HF hospitalization was higher in the hospital follow-up group than in the collaborative follow-up group (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01-1.39, P = 0.04).ConclusionsIn patients hospitalized for AHF, 41.5% received collaborative follow-up after discharge. The risk of HF hospitalization was higher in the hospital follow-up group than in the collaborative follow-up, although risk of the primary outcome, all-cause death, and cardiovascular death were similar between groups.
