Background

Most healthcare systems have not been proactively prepared to identify patients with or at-risk of chronic kidney disesase (CKD) to improve care and clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to classify and describe these patients in two large healthcare systems.

Methods

PSJH and UCLA healthcare systems collaboratively formed a registry (CURE-CKD) from their respective electronic health records (EHR). Participants were identified by a diagnosis of CKD or at-risk of CKD (diabetes, hypertension, pre-diabetes) by ICD-9/10 codes, guideline-based clinical criteria, and medication specific to a particular condition from the years 2006-2016.

Results

CURE-CKD includes 2,401,403 individuals. The table shows baseline characteristics by CKD (N=554,051) and at-risk of CKD (N=1,847,352) groups.

Conclusion

Real world, practice-based evidence can be used to classify patients as a platform for strategies to prevent CKD progression and complications as well as incident CKD.
