Digital physical activity intervention via the Kidney BEAM platform in patients with polycystic kidney disease: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In people living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), physical inactivity may contribute to poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). To date, no research has elucidated the impact of a PKD-specific physical activity programme on HRQoL and physical health. This substudy of the Kidney BEAM Trial evaluated the impact of a PKD-specific 12-week educational and physical activity digital health intervention for people living with PKD.

Methods

This study was a mixed-methods, single-blind, randomized waitlist-controlled trial. Sixty adults with a diagnosis of PKD were randomized 1:1 to the intervention or a waitlist control group. Primary outcome was difference in the Kidney Disease QoL Short Form 1.3 Mental Component Summary (KDQoL-SF1.3 MCS) between baseline and 12
