Use of the Screening for Occult Renal Disease (SCORED) Questionnaire to Screen Diabetic Nephropathy in Asymptomatic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The 2007 Screening for Occult Renal Disease (SCORED) questionnaire accesses risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and makes it possible to screen high-risk patients, being adapted and validated for the Brazilian culture in 2012. The present study evaluated the questionnaire's ability to predict the occurrence of CKD in asymptomatic patients, as well as identify a high risk for developing the disease.

Methods: This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design carried out in two stages: answering the SCORED and performing fasting blood glucose and creatinine tests.
