Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators plan to integrate and tailor the existing Exercise is Medicine framework, an evidence-based multi-level intervention program developed by the American Society of Sports Medicine, for the care of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. In this pilot randomized control trial, investigators will compare the effects and feasibility of two intervention arms designed to start and maintain physical activity in this high-risk population (Group 1: physical activity assessment, brief counseling session + physical activity wearable versus Group 2: Group 1 intervention components + referral to a free, community-based, EIM practitioner led group exercise program).


Description:

Persons on dialysis are physically inactive, with most reporting activity levels below the fifth percentile of healthy age-matched groups. Physical inactivity in turn increases the risk for functional decline and mortality in this vulnerable population. The investigators propose a pragmatic clinical trial for an exercise intervention among persons transitioning to dialysis. The investigators will use an existing framework - Exercise is Medicine (EIM) - developed by the American College of Sports Medicine. The investigators will randomize 98 persons from two regions-Atlanta and Bay Area-in two intervention arms with incremental levels of clinical-community integration: physical activity assessment during Nephrology clinical visit, brief counseling at pre-dialysis education and physical activity wearable (group 1) versus group 1 intervention components plus a referral to a free, EIM practitioner-led group exercise program over 16 weeks (group 2; 8 week core intervention; 8 week follow up). The investigators will assess efficacy by comparing between group differences in minutes/week of (measured) moderate intensity physical activity. To evaluate implementation, investigators will use questionnaires and exit interviews for assessing barriers to referral, participation and retention along the path of the intervention; investigators will use cost-utility analyses to assess scalability. Further the investigators will have a plan for dissemination of the intervention by partnering with insurance providers and both for-profit and non-profit dialysis organizations. The overall goal is to inform the development of a practical, cost-conscious intervention that addresses barriers to physical activity commonly faced by persons on dialysis, and can be delivered as a "package" to interested practices.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Symptoms of Depression as measured by Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD20) Questionnaire based CESD-2 scale will be used to measure depression measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
Other Physical activity self-efficacy questionnaire measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
Other Waist circumference measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
Primary Differences in minutes of physical activity per week as measured by wearable device The Garmin wearable device will be used to track physical activity minutes during the week, with differences in total minutes per week in baseline versus 8 weeks (and 16 weeks) post intervention compared between exercise classes versus counseling alone groups measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
Secondary Six minute walk test (6MWT) 6 minute walk test will be administered by research personnel in 100 feet walkway, with differences in distance walked between baseline and 8 weeks (and 16 weeks), compared between group exercise and counseling alone groups measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
Secondary Handgrip Dynamometers will be used to measure handgrip strength, with differences in distance walked between baseline and 8 weeks (and 16 weeks), compared between group exercise and counseling alone groups measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
Secondary Health-related Quality of life using Medical Outcomes Short form 12 Questionnaire based Sf12 will be used to measure health related quality of life, with differences in distance walked between baseline and 8 weeks (and 16 weeks), compared between group exercise and counseling alone groups measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 16 weeks post start of intervention.
