Brief Summary:
DiaTT is an interventional, cluster-randomized (1:1), multicenter trial for patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (n=1,100). This trial will test the effectiveness (by change of sit-to-stand test between baseline and 12 months) of intradialytic exercise training (ET) and health literacy counseling (HLC) for 12 months (Intervention group) in comparison to control group (usual care, UC; no ET, no HLC).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Chronic Kidney Diseases Hemodialysis Behavioral: Intradialytic exercise intervention Behavioral: Usual Care Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the effectiveness of intradialytic exercise training (ET) and health literacy counselling (HLC) over 12 months intervention in patients undergoing chronic outpatient hemodialysis as compared to usual care (UC). The primary endpoint is change in Sit-to-Stand (STS60) test, from baseline to after 12 months intervention. The ET consists of both resistance and endurance training, focusing on improving patients' health status and physical functioning. Health literacy counseling aims at improving education, proficiency and self-awareness of the patient.

All patients undergoing hemodialysis in participating centers (clusters) for at least four weeks are eligible to participate in the study. Irrespective of randomized center (cluster) group assignment, all dialysis and overall medical treatments will remain unchanged and follow standard of care and center routine without adaptations to the training intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

    measured in kilogram

  8. hospitalizations [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    measured in number and days of hospitalization for comorbidities

  9. frailty by Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI) [ Time Frame: 3,6 and 12 months ]
    measured in change of scale in questionnaire

  10. Serum phosphate [ Time Frame: 3, 6, 9 and 12 months ]
    measured in mmol/L

  11. Erythropoietin dose [ Time Frame: 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ]
    measured in IE/week

  12. Quality of life by SF-36 [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    measured in change of scale by questionnaire

  13. Health literacy by HLS-EU-Q16 [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    measured in change of scale in questionnaire

  14. health economics by medication [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    measured in total costs between between study arms

  15. health economics by hospitalization [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    measured in days in hospital between between study arms
