Measurement Properties of an Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measure for Patients with Non-Dialysis-Dependent CKD

When used by diverse individuals with NDD-CKD, the KDSS had temporal stability for patients with stable kidney function, as well as moderate convergent construct validity for measuring general health and depressive symptoms. Responsiveness of the KDSS for physical symptoms and mental health was seen in only some individuals with kidney disease. Additional data demonstrating responsiveness to changes in kidney function, as well as interventions such as symptom management strategies, are needed to determine the clinical utility of the KDSS when used in usual care of patients with NDD-CKD.
