The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) network has developed over 20 pediatric instruments, both child-report and parent-proxy editions. Cross-sectional evaluations of the validity of the instruments have established that they are ready for integration into clinical research and practice. The next step in their ongoing evaluation is to assess their prospective clinical validity in a variety of health conditions. This study addresses the clinical evaluation of the measures in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Through baseline surveys and six follow-up surveys over a two-year period, Investigators are collecting self-report (child) and parent-proxy report of 11 pediatric PROMIS measures. Each of these PROMIS measures is described in the Main Outcome Measures section. Investigators are also collecting assessments of disease activity from clinical data. The selection of self-report and parent proxy patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures were determined through qualitative content validation. The analytic goal of this project is to evaluate baseline (cross-sectional) and longitudinal associations between PROMIS pediatric outcome measures and changes in the clinical status of patients with CKD. Our primary hypothesis is that as kidney function declines, self-reported health will worsen.

- Longitudinal change in sleep disturbance [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Child self-report of 8 items from PROMIS sleep-related disturbance domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in sleep-related impairment [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Child self-report of 4 items from PROMIS sleep-related impairment domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in fatigue [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Child self-report of 8 items from PROMIS fatigue domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in life satisfaction [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Child self-report of 4 items from from PROMIS life satisfaction domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from not at all to quite a bit. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in meaning and purpose [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Child self-report of 4 items from from PROMIS meaning and purpose domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from not at all to quite a bit. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in psychological stress experiences [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Child self-report of 4 items from from PROMIS psychological stress experiences domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from not at all to quite a bit. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in global health [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Parent proxy report of 7 items from from PROMIS global health domain. Parents rate their child's experience using a five point scale ranging from poor to excellent. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in depressive symptoms [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Parent proxy report of 4 items from from PROMIS emotional distress - depressive symptoms domain. Parents rate their child's experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in anxiety [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Parent proxy report of 4 items from from PROMIS emotional distress - anxiety domain. Parents rate their child's experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in positive affect [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Parent proxy report of 4 items from from PROMIS positive affect domain. Parents rate their child's experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
- Longitudinal change in family relationships [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 15 month, 18 month and 24 month follow-ups. ]Parent proxy report of 4 items from from PROMIS family relationships domain. Parents rate their child's experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population.
