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.

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.

The omission of outcomes that are of relevance to patients, clinicians, and regulators across trials in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) limits shared decision making. The Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology¿Polycystic Kidney Disease (SONG-PKD) Initiative convened an international consensus workshop on October 25, 2018, to discuss the identification and implementation of a potential core outcome set for all ADPKD trials. This article summarizes the discussion from the workshops and the SONG-PKD core outcome set. Key stakeholders including 11 patients/caregivers and 47 health professionals (nephrologists, policy makers, industry, and researchers) attended the workshop. Four themes emerged: ¿Relevance of trajectory and impact of kidney function¿ included concerns about a patient's prognosis and uncertainty of when they may need to commence kidney replacement therapy and the lack of an early prognostic marker to inform long-term decisions; ¿Discerning and defining pain specific to ADPKD¿ highlighted the challenges in determining the origin of pain, adapting to the chronicity and repeated episodes of pain, the need to place emphasis on pain management, and to have a validated measure for pain; ¿Highlighting ADPKD consequences¿ encompassed cyst-related complications and reflected patient's knowledge because of family history and the hereditary nature of ADPKD; and ¿Risk for life-threatening but rare consequences¿ such as cerebral aneurysm meant considering both frequency and severity of the outcome. Kidney function, mortality, cardiovascular disease, and pain were established as the core outcomes for ADPKD.
