Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is the most frequent glomerular disease in children in most parts of the world. Children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) generally have a good prognosis ...regarding the maintenance of normal kidney function even in the case of frequent relapses. The course of SSNS is often complicated by a high rate of relapses and the associated side effects of repeated glucocorticoid (steroid) therapy. The following recommendations for the treatment of SSNS are based on the comprehensive consideration of published evidence by a working group of the German Society for Pediatric Nephrology (GPN) based on the systematic Cochrane reviews on SSNS and the guidelines of the KDIGO working group (Kidney Disease - Improving Global Outcomes).
Zusammenfassung
Nierenkrankheiten stellen ein zunehmendes Gesundheitsproblem dar, dessen Eindämmung eine effektive Kommunikation zwischen den an Erfassung, Diagnostik und Therapie Beteiligten sowie ...den betroffenen Patientinnen und Patienten erfordert. Die Nomenklatur für Nierenfunktion und Nierenkrankheiten ist jedoch bislang nicht einheitlich. Die internationale, gemeinnützige Organisation Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) hat deshalb 2019 in einem Konsensus-Prozess ein englischsprachiges Glossar entwickelt, um die Begriffe zur Beschreibung von Nierenfunktion, Nierenstruktur und Nierenkrankheiten zu vereinheitlichen. Leitprinzipien bei der Entwicklung dieser Nomenklatur waren (1) Präzision, (2) Patientenzentrierung und (3) Konsistenz mit bisherigen KDIGO-Leitlinien. Das vorliegende Positionspapier beinhaltet eine deutsche Übersetzung dieses Glossars, die im Auftrag der nephrologischen Fachgesellschaften in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz entwickelt wurde.
We developed the Humanitarian Emergency Settings Perceived Needs (HESPER) Scale, a valid and reliable scale to rapidly assess perceived needs of populations in humanitarian settings in low- and ...middle-income countries.
We generated items through a literature review; reduced the number of items on the basis of a survey with humanitarian experts; pilot-tested the scale in Gaza, Jordan, Sudan, and the United Kingdom; and field-tested it in Haiti, Jordan, and Nepal.
During field-testing, intraclass correlation coefficients (absolute agreement) for the total number of unmet needs were 0.998 in Jordan, 0.986 in Haiti, and 0.995 in Nepal (interrater reliability), and 0.961 in Jordan and 0.773 in Nepal (test-retest reliability). Cohen's κ for the 26 individual HESPER items ranged between 0.66 and 1.0 (interrater reliability) and between 0.07 and 1.0 (test-retest reliability) across sites. Most HESPER items correlated as predicted with related questions of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-100 (WHOQOL-100), and participants found items comprehensive and relevant, suggesting criterion (concurrent) validity and content validity.
The HESPER Scale rapidly provides valid and reliable population-based data on perceived needs in humanitarian settings.
