Abstract

Main problem

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that affects millions of people worldwide. A standardized core outcome set (COS) was developed for CKD by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes and Measurements in 2019. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of measurement for these outcomes before and after the publication of the COS.

Methods

A literature search was done to gather the phase III/IV clinical trials evaluating chronic kidney disease through ClinicalTrials.gov. Data extraction of included studies was completed in a masked, duplicate fashion. The included studies were evaluated for characteristics such as survival, burden of disease, patient-reported health-related quality of life, and treatment modality-specific outcomes.

Results

Our results showed that the majority of all COS domains were inadequately measured in CKD clinical trials before and after publication of the COS. Despite the increase in COS measurements following publication, the average percent of COS outcomes measured was less than 40 % per year even after four years.

Conclusion

There is a notable deficiency in the complete measurement of COS among all domains both before and after COS publication. We suggest efforts be made to improve the adoption of consistent outcome measures that would benefit the growing population of patients affected by CKD.

评估慢性肾脏病随机对照试验中核心结果集的采用情况：横断面分析

主要问题慢性肾脏病（CKD）是一种渐进性疾病，影响着全球数百万人。国际健康结果和测量联合会于 2019 年为 CKD 制定了一套标准化核心结果（COS）。本研究旨在评估 COS 发布前后这些结果的测量频率。方法通过 ClinicalTrials.gov 进行文献检索，收集评估慢性肾病的 III/IV 期临床试验。对纳入研究的数据提取是以蒙面、重复的方式完成的。结果我们的研究结果表明，在 COS 发布前后的 CKD 临床试验中，大多数 COS 领域的测量都不充分。结论在 COS 发布前后，对 COS 所有领域的全面测量都存在明显不足。我们建议努力改进采用一致的结果测量方法，使越来越多的慢性肾脏病患者受益。

期刊介绍： Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is an international peer reviewed open access journal that publishes articles pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from a wide range of disciplines including medicine, life science, pharmaceutical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioral science, and bioethics. Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to increase the transparency of medical research and reduce publication bias by publishing scientifically valid original research findings irrespective of their perceived importance, significance or impact. Both randomized and non-randomized trials are within the scope of the Journal. Some common topics include trial design rationale and methods, operational methodologies and challenges, and positive and negative trial results. In addition to original research, the Journal also welcomes other types of communications including, but are not limited to, methodology reviews, perspectives and discussions. Through timely dissemination of advances in clinical trials, the goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is to serve as a platform to enhance the communication and collaboration within the global clinical trials community that ultimately advances this field of research for the benefit of patients.
