How this fits in

The coding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with improved quality of care and CVD risk management. This study identified health inequalities, with lower levels of coding in younger age groups (individuals aged <50 years); areas of greater deprivation; and black Caribbean, black African, South Asian, and non-stated ethnic groups compared with those of white ethnicity; such individuals would benefit from targeted improvement initiatives.
