Prediction of cardiovascular death and non-fatal cardiovascular events by the Kidney age-Chronological age Difference (KCD) score in men and women of different ages in a community-based cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We examined the utility of the Kidney age-Chronological age Difference (KCD) score, an age-adapted measure of kidney function, to identify increased cardiovascular (CV) death or non-fatal CV event risk in participants of the Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab), a community-based cohort aged 23-95 years.

Design

Cohort study.

Setting

Community.

Participants

11205 randomly selected participants from urban and nonurban areas across Australia.

Outcome measures

Mortality status and underlying and contributory causes of death obtained from the Australian National Death Index, and non-fatal CV events from adjudicated hospital records. The association of CV death or non-fatal CV event risk with KCD score was examined using penali
