OR= odds ratio, CI=confidence interval, CAKUT= congenital anomaly of the kidney and urinary tract, KL:BL= average kidney length:body length*100, aCAKUT = structural or anatomical anomalies in addition to primary diagnosis (see Methods), CKD= chronic kidney disease.

The “Multicystic dysplastic kidney” diagnostic group was adopted as the reference for calculating the odds ratio associated with each other specific etiology.
