Cross-sectional Study to Assess Prevalence and Burden of CKD-associated Pruritus in Haemodialysis Patients

Vifor International Inc. is seeking real-world evidence (RWE) to better understand the epidemiology, patient characteristics, and management of CKD-aP in the real-world clinical setting.

This is a non-interventional, cross-sectional, multicentre, and multinational (European) study. The non-interventional study (NIS) design allows the observation of patients in large haemodialysis (HD) centres reflecting routine clinical practice. All decisions on therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, treatments, management of the disease, or resource utilisation will be at the full discretion of the treating physician without interference by the sponsor or study protocol. All treatment decisions will follow the real-life treatment behaviour. The CENSUS-EU represents a cross-sectional study design of a representative selection of patients undergoing HD at 113 large dialysis centres across 7 countries in Europe. Prot. v.2.0, 9 May 2023
