Note. CKD = chronic kidney disease; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate.

a

eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73 m2 excludes those on dialysis at baseline.

b

Including visits in emergency department, noninterventional services (ie, clinical assessments, diagnostic services such as imaging and treatment, and education), rehabilitation services and community-based services, as well as procedures such as day surgery.
