| Abstract |
Patient-reported health status, including symptom burden, functional status and quality of life, are important measures of health in patients with chronic kidney disease. We aimed to investigate patient-reported outcomes (PRO) on self-rated health, appetite, quality of life and their associations with clinical outcomes. We conducted a prospective observational cohort study. Data was collected at baseline using a PRO questionnaire. The primary outcomes were initiation of dialysis, transplantation and mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used. A total of 126 patients with chronic kidney disease with an eGFR of ≤ 25 mL/min/1.73 m2 were followed for a median of 321 (range 10-523) days. Poor appetite was associated with mortality (hazard ratio 20.9, 95% CI 3.7-129.8). Initiation of dialysis was associated with low self-rated health (hazard ratio 5.2, 95% CI 1.2-24.0). Mean decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate was - 0.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI - 1.6 to - 0.2). Decline in self-rated health (p = 0.001) and appetite (p = 0.002) were correlated with reduction in renal function. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 January 2023.
All research outputs
#3,068,164
of 23,555,482 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#411
of 4,302 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,554
of 330,085 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#9
of 126 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,555,482 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,302 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,085 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 126 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
