Trends and Independent Correlates of Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness in US Adults: NHANES 1999-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health and economic burden with serious adverse health outcomes and extremely low awareness. Current evidence on independent correlates of CKD awareness is inconsistent and recent data examining time trends of CKD awareness in the USA are dated. The aims of our study are to examine time trends in CKD awareness from 1999 to 2020 and examine independent correlates of CKD awareness in US adults with CKD.

Methods

We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2020). The study sample consisted of 9,825 US adults with CKD. The primary outcome was CKD awareness. Independent correlates included sociodemographic, comorbidity and clinical variables. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression model
