Kidney Failure Risk Equation performance according to the etiology of chronic kidney disease in the CKD-CAREMEAU cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) is a prognostic score for predicting kidney replacement therapy (KRT) at 5 years in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some studies show that the score performs poorly for certain etiologies of CKD but not all have been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the KFRE score according to the etiology of the CKD.

Methods

The CKD-CAREMEAU cohort, which included all patients who consulted a nephrologist for CKD between 2008 and 2017, was used. Patients were monitored for 5 years and the observed event was KRT, completed by the French REIN registry (Reseau Epidemiologique et Information en Néphrologie). Performance was evaluated by calibration (individual approach) and discrimination (populati
