Projecting the economic burden of chronic kidney disease at the patient level (Inside CKD): a microsimulation modelling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The growing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) places substantial financial pressures on patients, healthcare systems, and society. An understanding of the costs attributed to CKD and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is essential for evidence-based policy making. Inside CKD maps and projects the economic burden of CKD across 31 countries/regions from 2022 to 2027.

Methods

A microsimulation model was developed that generated virtual populations using national demographics, relevant literature, and renal registries for the 31 countries/regions included. Patient-level country/region-specific cost data were extracted via a pragmatic local literature review and under advisement from local experts. Direct cost projections were generated for diagnosed CKD (by
