Pre-emptive Kidney Transplantation Quality of Life (PreKiTQoL)

August 23, 2024 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Evaluation of the Benefits Associated With Pre-emptive Kidney Transplantation. Prospective, Multicenter and Controlled Study of Quality of Life, Psychological Adjustment Processes and Medical Outcomes of Patients Receiving a Pre-emptive Kidney Transplant Compared to a Similar Population of Recipients After a Dialysis Period of Less Than Three Years

The main objective is to assess the psychological impact of pre-emptive kidney transplantation on patients' quality of life taking into account psychological adjustment (response shift), compared to patients who have experienced a short pre-transplant dialysis period of less than 36 months.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The following outcomes will also be compared between Patients with Pre-emptive Transplantation and Patients with Dialysis before Transplantation : a) changes in quality of life, subjective well-being, perceived anxiety and depressive disorders as well as perceived stress during follow-up taking into account psychological adjustment (response shift) ; b) The coping strategies (process of managing stressful circumstances) and post-traumatic growth (positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances) ; c) The 2-year post transplantation graft survival and patient outcomes: evolution of the Graft Filtration Rate, the proteinuria level ; d) The Kidney Transplant Failure Score (KTFS, patent N°0959043) at one year post transplantation ; e) The post-transplantation time to return to work and patients compliance to treatment.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
PPT
Patients with a pre-emptive kidney transplantation from deceased or living donors
Patient-Reported Outcomes completion every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge, and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months
PDT
Patients who have experienced a pre-transplant dialysis period of less than 36 months

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in quality of life
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years

The change in quality of life, taking into account psychological adjustment of the patient (response shift).

This criterion will be measured by a specifically developed questionnaire : ReTransQol

through study completion, an average of 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
KTFS (Kidney Transplant Failure Score )
Time Frame: 12 month
The Kidney Transplant Failure Score (KTFS) at one year post transplantation will be compared between PPT versus PDT.
12 month
Post-transplantation time to return to work
Time Frame: 24 month
24 month
Generic quality of life
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Generic QoL will be assessed with the SF36 every 6 months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT.
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Anxiety and depressive disorders
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Anxiety and depressive disorders will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge, and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT using the questionnaire HAD (Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale)
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Subjective well-being
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Subjective well-being will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT using the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS)
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Perceived stress
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
The perceived stress will be assessed every six months prior to surgery, at hospital discharge, and at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Perceived Stress Scale
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Coping strategies
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
The coping strategies will be assessed at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post transplantation and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Brief Cope
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Posttraumatic growth
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
The posttraumatic growth will be assessed at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post transplantation and compared between PPT versus PDT with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI)
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Evolution of the Graft Filtration Rate
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
The evolution of the Graft Filtration Rate (GFR) will be compared between PPT versus PDT. This clinical parameter will be collected at hospital discharge, and 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post-transplantation. Renal function will be estimated using the 4-variables MDRD formula
through study completion, an average of 5 years
Evolution of daily proteinuria level
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
The evolution of the daily proteinuria level will be compared between PPT versus PDT. This clinical parameter will be collected at hospital discharge, and 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, 72 months post-transplantation. Conventionally, proteinuria is diagnosed by a simple dipstick test
through study completion, an average of 5 years
