“…Patients’ self-reported symptom burden was higher than physician-reported burden; less agreement was seen for non-dialysis-dependent (NDD) patients (kappa = 0.193, standard deviation [SD]: 0.081) than dialysis-dependent (DD) patients (kappa = 0.442, SD: 0.103). Median hemoglobin thresholds that physicians reported using for initiating treatment (NDD: < 10.5 [interquartile range, 9.5– 12.0] g/dL; DD: < 9.3 [9.0– 10.0] g/dL) were higher than actual test levels at treatment initiation (NDD: 9.2 [8.7– 10.0] g/dL; DD: 9.0 [8.1– 10.0] g/dL).Conclusion: Treatment inertia is apparent despite high symptom burden in the Middle East, South Africa, and Türkiye, and disagreement was seen in physician and patient perspectives on symptomology. …”
