Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Real-world data from patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited, particularly regarding clinical management, treatment patterns and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the context of new therapies and updated standard of care guidelines. METHODS: DISCOVER CKD is an observational cohort study enrolling adult patients with CKD, defined by an International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code, or with two estimated glomerular filtration rate measures < 75 ml/min/1.73 m2 recorded 91-730 days apart. We describe the demographics, baseline characteristics and patient-reported outcomes of patients enrolled in the prospective phase. RESULTS: Of 1052 patients (mean age 62.5 years; 36.9% female) enrolled from the USA, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Japan, 727 (69.1%) had stage 2-3b CKD and 325 (30.9%) had stage 4-5 CKD. Overall, 72.4%, 43.0% and 37.5% of patients had histories of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia, respectively. In total, 58.7% and 14.0% were receiving renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), respectively. Compared with patients with stage 2-3b CKD, patients with stage 4-5 CKD reported numerically greater symptom burden across all 11 symptoms measured, numerically worse HRQoL across all eight categories measured using the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire, and numerically greater impairment at work across all four categories measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment chronic kidney disease (WPAI-CKD) questionnaire. Compared with patients with stage 2-3b CKD, a higher proportion of patients with stage 4-5 CKD had anaemia, hyperkalaemia and oedema (49.8% vs. 16.9%, 21.8% vs. 8.4% and 17.5% vs. 9.5%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: These contemporary real-world data from six countries highlight the substantial symptom, medication and psychosocial burden associated with CKD, and continued gaps in treatment.
