Simplified end stage renal failure risk prediction model for the low-risk general population with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) contributes significant morbidity and mortality among Asians; hence interventions should focus on those most at-risk of progression. However, current end stage renal failure (ESRF) risk stratification tools are complex and not validated in multi-ethnic Asians. We hence aimed to develop an ESRF risk prediction model by taking into account ethnic differences within a fairly homogenous socioeconomic setting and using parameters readily accessible to primary care clinicians managing the vast majority of patients with CKD.

Methods

We performed a prospective cohort study of 1970 adults with CKD estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73m2 or albuminuria >30 mg/g from the population-based Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases study
