Background
This study utilized EHR data from pediatric centers to identify children with CKD and examine risk factors for kidney function decline.
Methods
We used PEDSnet, a network with EHR data from >7million children in 7 health systems, to identify children aged 1-18 yrs between 2009-2020 who met CKD criteria: two eGFR<90 mL/min/1.73m2 separated by ≥90 days without an intervening higher value. CKD progression was defined as composite outcome: eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73m2, 50% eGFR decline, chronic dialysis, or kidney transplant. Subcohorts were based on CKD etiology: glomerular, non-glomerular or malignancy. We assessed impact of hypertension(HTN) (≥2visits with HTN code) and proteinuria (≥1 lab value ≥1+) within 2yrs of cohort entrance on outcomes.
Results
We identified 7395 children, median age 14.1yrs, 36% females, 23% blacks, median follow-up 4.2yrs. Median initial eGFR was 75.5 ml/min/1.73m2; 36% had proteinuria; 46 % had HTN. Children with glomerular CKD were more likely to reach outcomes (p<0.001). Children with HTN, proteinuria, or both were more likely to reach outcomes(p<0.001).
Conclusion
The EHR may be used to study large numbers of children with CKD. Risk factors for CKD progression were glomerular disease, HTN and proteinuria.
