Kidney Failure due to Diabetic Kidney Disease Among Australians Aged ≤ 45 Years, 2000-2022: A Population-Based Geospatial Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Evaluate the area-level incidence of kidney failure due to diabetes among Australians aged ≤ 45 years.

Methods

Using Australian registry and census data (2000-2022), incidence rates and prevalence of kidney failure (defined as commencing kidney replacement therapy) due to diabetes among people aged ≤ 45 years were compared by geographical region.

Results

Incidence (per 100 000/year, 95% confidence interval) of kidney failure due to diabetes among people aged ≤ 45 years in Australia was 0.72 (0.68-0.77) in 2000-2011, and 1.13 (1.07-1.18) in 2012-2022 (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.56, 1.50-1.62). Between 2012 and 2022, there were 48 regions where the crude incidence of kidney failure due to diabetes was more than double the national average, the highest being 49.8 c
