Predictive role of Oxford Classification for prognosis in children with IgA nephropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Oxford Classification was proposed as an independent prognostic indicator in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). However, most studies on the subject focus on adults instead of children.

Objectives

Using a meta-analysis to appraise the predictive roles of the Oxford classification for the prognosis of pediatric patients with IgAN.

Methods

All cohort studies regarding the analysis of the association between poor kidney-related prognosis (GFR categories G2-G5) according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Guideline in pediatric patients with IgAN and five pathologic lesions in the Oxford Classification were included. Hazard ratios (HRs) regarding the association between the Oxford classification and prognosis of pediatric patients with IgAN were s
