Summary: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are quantitative assessments of a patient's perspective
on their health and are derived directly from the patient, as opposed to clinician
interpretation. PROs can serve as unique tools to improve health care providers’ understanding
of the patient's daily lived experience and highlight salient domains that are specific
to children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). As such, PROs fill an important gap
in achieving optimal health and well-being for children with CKD. However, several
knowledge gaps remain in the implementation of PROs within both the clinical and research
realms. This review provides a broad overview of PRO development, implementation for
children with CKD, and highlights future directions and challenges.
