    Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high burden of physical and psychosocial symptoms, poor outcomes, and high costs of care. Current paradigms of care for this highly vulnerable population are variable, prognostic and assessment tools are limited, and quality of care, particularly regarding conservative and palliative care, is suboptimal. The KDIGO Controversies Conference on Supportive Care in CKD reviewed the current state of knowledge in order to define a roadmap to guide clinical and research activities focused on improving the outcomes of people living with advanced CKD, including those on dialysis. An international group of multidisciplinary experts in CKD, palliative care, methodology, economics, and education identified the key issues related to palliative care in this population. The conference led to a working plan to address outstanding issues in this arena, and this executive summary serves as an output to guide future work, including the development of globally applicable.

    Background: Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients receiving hemodialysis. We aimed to identify and evaluate the characteristics and psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures for fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis, to inform the selection of a robust and feasible measure for use in randomized trials in hemodialysis. Study Design: Systematic review of outcome measures for fatigue. Setting & Population: Patients receiving hemodialysis. Search Strategy & Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from inception to April 2017 were searched for all studies that reported fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis. Analytical Approach: With a focus on addressing methods, items (individual questions) from all measures were categorized into content and measurement dimensions of fatigue. We assessed the general characteristics (eg, number of items and cost) and psychometric properties of all measures. © American Journal of Kidney Diseases
