Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Physical function: Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT) and Endurance Shuttle Walking Test (ESWT), Sit-to-stand-5 (STS-5), and STS-60 2. Body composition: anthropometric measures, Bioelectrical Impendence Analysis (BIA), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 3. CVD risk factors: pulse wave velocity, Non-Invasive Cardiac Outcome Measures (NICOM), and systemic inflammatory status 4. Venepuncture for inflammatory and other cardiovascular risk markers 5. General Questionnaires: 5.1. Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue 5.2. Fatigue scales 5.3. European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ5D) 6. Population-Specific Questionnaires: 6.1. Transplant patients: Kidney Transplant Questionnaire (KTQ) 6.1.1. Leicester Kidney Patient Physical Activity Questionnaire Tx (LKP-PAQ Tx) 6.1.2. Renal Patient Outcome Scale (POS-S Renal plus transplant-specific questions) 6.1.3. Dialysis Patients : Leicester Kidney Patient Physical Activity Questionnaire (LKP-PAQ) 6.1.4. Renal Patient Outcome Scale (POS-S Renal) 6.1.5. Early/Predialysis CKD: Leicester Kidney Patient Physical Activity Questionnaire (LKP-PAQ) 6.1.6. Leicester Kidney Symptom Questionnaire (LKSQ) 6.2. Healthy controls: 6.2.1. Leicester Kidney Patient Physical Activity Questionnaire (LKP-PAQ) 6.2.2. Leicester Kidney Symptom Questionnaire (LKSQ) 7. Habitual physical activity and nutritional intake: accelerometers worn for seven days; food diary completed for 7 days 8. Clinical parameters: (urine sample and fasted blood test). For kidney patients only, co-morbidities and medication details will be extracted from medical records by researchers after visits complete | — |
