Development of a Conceptual Model for the Patient Experience of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN): A Qualitative Literature Review.

Secondary analysis of published qualitative literature permitted development of a novel conceptual model depicting the patient experience of IgAN; however, its depth is limited by a lack of available literature. Further qualitative research is recommended to refine and/or confirm the concepts and domains, determine any relationships between them, and explore the outcomes that are most meaningful to patients. The refined model will provide a useful tool to inform the selection, development, and/or amendment of COAs for use in future IgAN clinical trials.
