Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Current primary outcome measure as of 17/02/2023: Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQoL) total score (calculated from the KDQoL-SF questionnaire) measured over 6 months _____ Previous primary outcome measure: Quality of life measured using the composite score from the Kidney Disease Quality of Life tool (KDQoL) at 6 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|

Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQoL) domains (calculated from the KDQoL-SF questionnaire) measured over 6-months 2.1. Physical component summary score 2.2. Mental component summary score 2.3. Kidney summary score 2.4. Kidney disease component summary score 3. Additional Patient Reported Outcome Measures assessed at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months: 3.1. Health-related quality of life measured using the EQ-5D-5L 3.2. Levels of fatigue measured using the SONG Haemodialysis Fatigue measure 3.3. Sleep quality measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index 3.4. Time to recovery after dialysis measured using a simple question on Time to Recovery (TTR) in minutes after dialysis 3.5. Cognitive health assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment at baseline, 3 months and 6 months 4. Safety measures: 4.1. Residual kidney function measured using urine collection with paired blood samples taken at the time of dialysis to give standard measures of urine volume, urea and creatinine clearance at baseline and 6 months, and serum beta-2 microglobulin in blood samples taken monthly between baseline and 6 months 4.2 Serious adverse events (SAEs) 4.2.1. SAEs in totality (rate/years) 4.2.2. Vascular access complications that lead to SAEs (rate/years) 4.2.3. Dialysis prescription changes that lead to SAEs (rate/years) 4.3. Clinical outcomes (cardiovascular events, CVD death, mortality) (rate/years) collected using Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and Office of National Statistics (ONS) databases (or regional equivalent) on the three year anniversary of the last participant last visit 5. Measures of process: 5.1. Adherence to the intervention 5.1.1. Hours per session 5.1.2. Number of sessions missed 5.1.3. Number of sessions not meeting time criteria 5.1.4.
