Effect of 2 Clinical Decision Support Strategies on Chronic Kidney Disease Outcomes in Primary Care: A Cluster Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Information is needed about optimal strategies to improve evidence-based treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care.

Objective

To determine whether a multimodal intervention delays annualized loss of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in stages 3 and 4 CKD.
