Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake in people with kidney disease: an OpenSAFELY cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterise factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake among people with kidney disease in England.

Design

Retrospective cohort study using the OpenSAFELY-TPP platform, performed with the approval of NHS England.

Setting

Individual-level routine clinical data from 24 million people across GPs in England using TPP software. Primary care data were linked directly with COVID-19 vaccine records up to 31 August 2022 and with renal replacement therapy (RRT) status via the UK Renal Registry (UKRR).

Participants

A cohort of adults with stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) or receiving RRT at the start of the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out was identified based on evidence of reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or inclusion in the UKRR.
