Risk of Dialysis or Death with CKD Recognition in EHR the problem list

HR (95% CI)ESRD (n=21068)** P-value HR (95% CI)Mortality (n=25,742)^ P-value
Model 1 – CKD recognition only 12.7 (10.4, 15.5) <0.001 1.53 (1.41, 1.66) <0.001
Model 2 – including age, sex, race/ethnicity 9.4 (7.6, 11.6) <0.001 1.61 (1.48, 1.75) <0.001
Model 3 – plus insurance 9.0 (7.3, 11.1) <0.001 1.61 (1.49, 1.75) <0.001
Model 4 – plus eGFR and comorbidities* 1.18 (0.94, 1.49) 0.15 1.04 (0.95, 1.14) 0.42
Model 5 – plus proteinuria 1.05 (0.81, 1.37) 0.72 0.96 (0.87, 1.07) 0.44

CKD = chronic kidney disease; EHR = electronic health record; HR = Hazards Ratio, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; ESRD = end stage renal disease; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate

*

diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hyperlipidemia, cerebrovascular disease and eGFR at inception which is 1 year after confirmatory eGFR.

**

Note we only have USRDS follow up until 9/15/2009, patients with confirmatory eGFR after 9/15/2008 are excluded from this analysis.

^

Note we only have Social Security Death Index follow up until 10/30/2011.

For model 5 proteinuria subgroup analysis, N=14,922 for ESRD and N=18,385 for mortality
