Background: Further understanding of adverse clinical event rates in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is required for improved quality of care. This study described baseline characteristics, adverse clinical event rates, and mortality risk in patients with CKD, accounting for CKD stage and dialysis status.
Methods: This retrospective, noninterventional cohort study included data from adults (aged ≥ 18 years) with two consecutive estimated glomerular filtration rates of < 60 ml/min/1.
Introduction: Further understanding of adverse clinical events in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is needed. This study aimed to describe characteristics of patients with nondialysis-dependent (NDD) and dialysis-dependent (DD) CKD and to assess incidence rates of uncommon adverse clinical events of interest in these patients.
Methods: This retrospective study used electronic medical record data from USA CKD patients (≥18 years) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.
