Association of Age With Risk of Kidney Failure in Adults With Stage IV Chronic Kidney Disease in Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

With population aging, the burden of many age-related chronic conditions, including kidney failure, is increasing globally.

Objective

To investigate the risks of kidney failure and death in adults with incident stage IV chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study obtained data recorded between July 30, 2002, and March 31, 2014, from the linked laboratory and administrative data set of Alberta Health in Alberta, Canada. All adults of the province of Alberta with stage IV CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] of 15-30 mL/min/1.73 m2) were eligible for inclusion. Included individuals were followed up from study entry until the date of kidney failure, death, or censoring, whichever occurred first
