Holistic Impact of CKD: A Clinical, Economic, and Environmental Analysis by IMPACT CKD.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health problem driven by aging and the rise of comorbidities, including diabetes and hypertension. Although clinical and economic burdens have been reported, there is a lack of information on the multidimensional impact of CKD across countries with varying demographics and health system archetypes.

Methods

The validated IMPACT CKD model was used to project the clinical, health care resource use (HCRU), economic, patient, societal, and environmental burden of CKD in 8 countries (Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States) over 10 years (baseline: 2022; simulated years: 2023-2032).
