Defining parameters for identifying cohorts at high, intermediate, and low risk of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).
| Cohort | Index eGFRa (ml·min–1·m–2) | ≥90 days prior eGFR (ml·min–1·m–2) | Additional criteria | ||||
| High-risk advanced CKD | <30 | < 30 | None | ||||
| Intermediate-risk advanced CKD | |||||||
|
|
Subgroup 1 | <30 | ≥30 and <60 | Excluding AKIb using ICD-10c codes (N17) | |||
|
|
Subgroup 2 | ≥30 and <60 | <30 | Patients have ICD-10 codes for stage 4 and 5 CKD (N18.4 and N18.5) | |||
| Low-risk advanced CKD | ≥30 | ≥30 | Patients have ICD-10 codes for stage 4 and 5 CKD (N18.4 and N18.5) | ||||
aeGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; index eGFR refers to the latest eGFR at the time of extraction of the cohort.
bAKI: acute kidney injury.
