Data extraction items from empirical literature sources

Population screened Measurements Interventions Implementation
Country, income group Number of measurements (1x/2x) Lifestyle measures* Cost measures reported
Type of programme (national/others) Urine dipsticks (protein ±blood) RAAS blockade Reported to be cost-effective
Demographic features (age, gender, ethnicity, rural/urban setting) Urine ACR/PCR only Antidiabetic medications (any) Screening strategy adopted or not implemented due to lack of efficacy (eg, policy document)
Workforce involved in screening SCR/eGFR only Anti-hypertensive medications (separate from RAAS)
Screening type Urine+SCR/eGFR Lipid treatment
Mass screening (yes/no) POCT Avoidance of nephrotoxins
Targeted screening (yes/no) Other tests (eg, cystatin C) Referral to nephrology service
  • Hypertensives
