Domains for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment of Older Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease: Results from the CRIC Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) tailored to the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population would yield a more targeted approach to assessment and care. We aimed to identify domains of a CKD-specific CGA (CKD-CGA), characterize patterns of these domains, and evaluate their predictive utility on adverse health outcomes.

Methods

We used data from 864 participants in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort aged ≥55 years and not on dialysis. Constituents of the CKD-CGA were selected a priori. Latent class analysis informed the selection of domains and identified classes of participants based on their domain patterns. The predictive utility of class membership on mortality, dialysis initiation, and hospitalization was examined. Model discrimination was assesse
