Patient Perceptions of a Population Health Management Program to Improve Kidney Care: Optimizing care in CKD.
Article in Kidney medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective: A population health management intervention for a pragmatic cluster randomized control trial (Kidney CHAMP) aimed to improve care and outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at high-risk of progression to dialysis dependence but not seeing a nephrologist. The Kidney CHAMP intervention provided comanagement support to primary care providers by nephrology electronic-consult, pharmacist-directed medication reconciliation, and nurse-delivered CKD patient education. We sought to learn patient perceptions of Kidney CHAMP intervention and whether the intervention improved their understanding of CKD. Study Design: An ancillary study of Kidney CHAMP using qualitative methods. Setting & Participants: Participants were sampled from Kidney CHAMP intervention group using 3 predefined strata (racial/ethnic minorities, low socioeconomic status, and multimorbidities) from May 2021 to February 2022. Analytical Approach: We conducted semistructured televideo or telephone interviews that were transcribed and then inductively coded by 2 data analysts until thematic saturation was reached. Conventional content and thematic analyses were performed. Results: In 45 patient interviews (mean age 75 ± 8 years, 44% women, 9% non-White race, and 59% low socioeconomic status), we identified 4 themes. First, patients expressed support for CKD comanagement by the primary care providers (PCPs) and nephrology team. Second, education sessions had variable effect on improving patients'understanding of CKD and its health implications. Third, patients' self-efficacy and understanding of CKD management varied and was influenced by their understanding of its health implications. Fourth, patients appreciated education sessions and wanted more frequent sessions and actionable individualized guidance. Limitations: Low representation of non-White individuals, recall bias, and lack of validated measures for health literacy, patient knowledge, and activation. Conclusions: Patients with CKD who are managed by their PCP were supportive of remote comanagement by a nephrologist. Patients perceive some aspects of CKD health education to be beneficial; however, more effective approaches to communicating risk of CKD development and progression are needed.
