Brief summary

The main objective is to assess the psychological impact of pre-emptive kidney transplantation on patients' quality of life taking into account psychological adjustment (response shift), compared to patients who have experienced a short pre-transplant dialysis period of less than 36 months.

Detailed description

The following outcomes will also be compared between Patients with Pre-emptive Transplantation and Patients with Dialysis before Transplantation : a) changes in quality of life, subjective well-being, perceived anxiety and depressive disorders as well as perceived stress during follow-up taking into account psychological adjustment (response shift) ; b) The coping strategies (process of managing stressful circumstances) and post-traumatic growth (positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances) ; c) The 2-year post transplantation graft survival and patient outcomes: evolution of the Graft Filtration Rate, the proteinuria level ; d) The Kidney Transplant Failure Score (KTFS, patent N°0959043) at one year post transplantation ; e) The post-transplantation time to return to work and patients compliance to treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in quality of lifethrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsThe change in quality of life, taking into account psychological adjustment of the patient (response shift). This criterion will be measured by a specifically developed questionnaire : ReTransQol

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Anxiety and depressive disordersthrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsAnxiety and depressive disorders will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge, and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT using the questionnaire HAD (Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale)
Subjective well-beingthrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsSubjective well-being will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT using the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS)
Perceived stressthrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsThe perceived stress will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge, and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Perceived Stress Scale
Coping strategiesthrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsThe coping strategies will be assessed at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post transplantation and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Brief Cope
Posttraumatic growththrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsThe posttraumatic growth will be assessed at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post transplantation and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI)
Generic quality of lifethrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsGeneric QoL will be assessed with the SF36 every 6 months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT.
Evolution of daily proteinuria levelthrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsThe evolution of the daily proteinuria level will be compared between PPT versus PDT. This clinical parameter will be collected at hospital discharge, and 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post-transplantation. Conventionally, proteinuria is diagnosed by a simple dipstick test
KTFS (Kidney Transplant Failure Score )12 monthThe Kidney Transplant Failure Score (KTFS) at one year post transplantation will be compared between PPT versus PDT.
Post-transplantation time to return to work24 month
Compliance of patientsthrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsCompliance of patients will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge, and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Girerd questionnaire
Evolution of the Graft Filtration Ratethrough study completion, an average of 5 yearsThe evolution of the Graft Filtration Rate (GFR) will be compared between PPT versus PDT. This clinical parameter will be collected at hospital discharge, and 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post-transplantation. Renal function will be estimated using the 4-variables MDRD formula
