Background

We have shown previously that PH has better HRQoL compared to cystine stone formers and the US Standard Population. Now we show the first cross-sectional HRQoL profiles of PH patients.

Methods

PH participants were enrolled from the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium (RKSC) registry. The group of PH participants consist of PH 1, 2, 3, and PH-NMD (no mutation detected). PH-NMD met clinical criteria for PH. HRQoL was measured with the generic non-disease specific instrument (SF-36v2). Results were calculated as norm-based scores (NBS) based on US Standard Population (mean domain score = 50). We created three stone event groups (< 30 days, 31 – 365 days, >366 days). We compared HRQoL by last stone event for PH participants without a liver and/or kidney transplant. Group means < 47 indicate the presence of impaired functioning in associated dimensions.

Results

We used 184 surveys of adults with PH at different time points, adjusted for the last stone event, and compared SF-36 domain profiles. 56 participants were included with multiple surveys (PH1 26, PH2 8, PH3 13, PH-NMD 9; 30 males, 26 females; 42 years old, males 42 years, females 41 years). Lowest domain results were found in participants that experienced a stone event < 30 days before the survey. Participants with no stone event within a year had the best HRQoL with domain scores above the US Standard Population. PH-NMD compared to PH1, PH2 and PH3 had the highest stone event rate within one year of the survey (58.1 vs 35 vs 3 vs 29.5%). All PH patients with a stone event within 30 days of the survey trended towards higher urine oxalate excretion and lower eGFR (underpowered, not significant). Figure 1 shows that time since the last stone significantly affected HRQoL.

Conclusion

PH participants as a group are not homogeneous and experience different HRQoL based on proximity to stone event. PH type is a covariate. Overall PH2 has fewer stone events compared to other PH participants, with an expected direct impact on HRQoL.
