Outcomes reported in randomized controlled trials in peritoneal dialysis (PD) are diverse, are measured inconsistently, and may not be important to patients, families, and clinicians. The Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology¿Peritoneal Dialysis (SONG-PD) initiative aims to establish a core outcome set for trials in PD based on the shared priorities of all stakeholders. We convened an international SONG-PD stakeholder consensus workshop in May 2018 in Vancouver, Canada. Nineteen patients/caregivers and 51 health professionals attended. Participants discussed core outcome domains and implementation in trials in PD. Four themes relating to the formation of core outcome domains were identified: life participation as a main goal of PD, impact of fatigue, empowerment for preparation and planning, and separation of contributing factors from core factors. Considerations for implementation were identified: standardizing patient-reported outcomes, requiring a validated and feasible measure, simplicity of binary outcomes, responsiveness to interventions, and using positive terminology. All stakeholders supported inclusion of PD-related infection, cardiovascular disease, mortality, technique survival, and life participation as the core outcome domains for PD.

This can diminish the relevance and reliability of evidence for decision making, limiting the implementation of results into practice and policy. As part of the Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology¿Children and Adolescents (SONG-Kids) initiative, we convened 2 consensus workshops in San Diego, California (7 patients, 24 caregivers, 43 health professionals) and Melbourne, Australia (7 patients, 23 caregivers, 49 health professionals). This report summarizes the discussions on the identification and implementation of the SONG-Kids core outcomes set. Four themes were identified; survival and life participation are common high priority goals, capturing the whole child and family, ensuring broad relevance across the patient journey, and requiring feasible and valid measures. Stakeholders supported the inclusion of mortality, infection, life participation, and kidney function as the core outcomes domains for children with chronic kidney disease.

We aim to determine the influence of entry point and radius of curvature on intramedullary nail position in the distal femur using a synthetic bone model. Methods: Using synthetic femora, the greater trochanter was measured and entry points marked in two planes. A standard recommended technique was used to insert two different Stryker Gamma 3 intramedullary nails of different radius of curvature. The synthetic femora were sectioned and the centre of nail to anterior cortex distance (CAD) was measured. Statistical interpretation of the results was performed using linear regression analyses. Results: We found that the more posterior entry points led to a more anterior placement in the distal femur in both nails of differing radius of curvature (11 mm and 13.5 mm CAD). The smaller radius of curvature led to a more central placement of the nail tip in the distal femur. Conclusion: Anterior penetration of the distal femur can be minimized by a more anterior entry point and with the use of a femoral intramedullary nail with a smaller radius of curvature. © 2014 Prof. P K Surendran Memorial Education Foundation.
