Abstract
The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a newly adopted metric by CMS to describe an individual’s knowledge, ability, skills, and confidence in self-managing chronic conditions. The extent to which the PAM is relevant, comprehensive, and associated with clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial outcomes in people with dialysis-dependent kidney failure is, as of yet, unclear. The data we present are the first estimates of association of patient activation with health literacy, mental health, and adherence in patients with dialysis-dependent kidney failure in the United States.
