Assessing Pain & Its Impact In Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): The ADPKD Pain & Discomfort Scale (ADPKD – PDS)

Thank you for attending, we hope you enjoyed this webinar.

Please tell us what you thought about today’s presentation by taking the survey below:

Assessing Pain & Its Impact In Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): The ADPKD Pain & Discomfort Scale (ADPKD – PDS)

Background

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), an inherited progressive kidney disease, is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure in the US. Approximately 60% of primary complaints for ADPKD patients involved pain.1 Pain can be described as sharp, dull, acute and/or chronic, depending on the source.1 Patients have shared that pain and their large cystic kidneys often limited their daily activities, causing mental and physical fatigue.2 The Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Pain & Discomfort Scale (ADPKD-PDS) has been developed and validated as a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) tool.2 While pain continues to be a challenging issue for patients with ADPKD and their health care teams, utilizing a validated tool such as the ADPKD-PDS can facilitate patient-health care professionals’ discussions about ADPKD-associated pain and its impact on patients and their families.2
Did you Know?
  • Individuals with ADPKD have identified inadequate pain management and trivialization of their pain by physicians as key concerns, pointing to the need for tools to address ADPKD-related pain.3
  • The ADPKD-PDS tool was developed through a multi-step collaboration involving 26 clinical experts and 298 patient participants (46 patient focus groups across 18 countries).
Why Attend This Webinar?
  • Join us for this webinar to learn more about the impact of pain in patients with ADPKD and how the new ADPKD-PDS tool can enable standardized assessment of the severity and impact of pain/discomfort in clinical trials and practice settings
What You Will Learn
 
  • Why evaluate pain in ADPKD?
  • Development process of the ADPKD-PDS
  • Types of pain identified and evaluated in this PRO tool
