Treatment of end-stage kidney disease for more than 2 million people worldwide, including 13,000 Australians on dialysis is extremely costly ($1.1billion per year) yet results in poor survival (45% at 5-years), lower than all cancers combined. Health-related quality of life for people managed on haemodialysis is low, around 60% of full health. Both women and men on haemodialysis frequently experience symptoms of severe or overwhelming pain, fatigue, nausea, cramping, itching, trouble sleeping an .... Read more

The trial data collection period is 12 months for a site. All participants at a site will complete their questionnaires a 2-week data collection period at timepoints determined by which arm the site is randomised to. If a site is randomised to the control arm, participants will complete the EQ-5D-5L and Song-HD Fatique questionnaires at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. If a site is randomised to the intervention arm, participants will complete the same questionnaires as the control arm plus the .... Read more
Control group Active
The control treatment is the collection of EQ-5D-5L and SONG-HD Fatigue at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. The control arm do not receive feedback of the IPOS Renal scores to clinicians, as only the intervention arm complete the IPOS Renal questionnaire.
Outcome: Change in health-related quality-of-life will be calculated using regression models adjusting for baseline measures. The EQ-5D-5L is anchored on a 0-1 utility scale, where 0=death and 1=full and complete health. Negative values for states worse than death are possible. Unit values will be informed by Australian population estimates.Timepoint: 12 months.
