Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical validity of a set of PROMIS pediatric person-reported outcome measures in patients with chronic kidney disease. The evaluation includes longitudinal assessments of how measures change in association with clinical changes.
Detailed Description: 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.
