Background and objectives

We investigated the incidence of ESKD after surgical management of kidney cancer in the Australian state of Queensland, and described patterns in the initiation of kidney replacement therapy resulting from kidney cancer across Australia.

All newly diagnosed cases of kidney cancer in the Australian state of Queensland between January of 2009 and December of 2014 were ascertained through the Queensland Cancer Registry. There were 2739 patients included in our analysis. Patients who developed ESKD were identified using international classification of disease-10-coded hospital administrative data. Incidence rate and 3-year cumulative incidence were calculated, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards model
