Key Points

This study aims to assess the feasibility and impact of electronic patient-reported outcome measures in hemodialysis.
Prospective matched cohort design involving adults on in-center hemodialysis with 6-month follow-up.
The intervention group completed monthly electronic patient-reported outcome measures, while the control group received standard care.
Outcomes measured included vascular access-related interventions, hospitalizations, and health-related quality of life.
55% of patients in the ePROM group achieved the Minimal Clinically Important Difference.
Improvements in patient-reported well-being and reduced vascular access-related burden were observed.
Further research is needed due to lack of longitudinal data in the control arm.
