CKD prevalence estimation is central to management and prevention planning at the population level. This study estimated in European adult general investigated international variation by age, sex, presence of diabetes, hypertension, obesity. We collected data from 19 general-population studies 13 countries. stages 1–5 was defined as eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 , calculated CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration equation, or albuminuria >30 mg/g, 3–5 . age- sex-standardized 27 Member States...
In this article we introduce the concept of inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) and describe how method can be applied to adjust for measured confounding in observational research, illustrated by a clinical example from nephrology. IPTW involves two main steps. First, probability-or propensity-of being exposed risk factor or intervention interest is calculated, given an individual's characteristics (i.e. propensity score). Second, weights are calculated as score. The application...
Objectives: (1) to examine consequences of falls in older men and women (2) risk factors for health service use functional decline among fallers.
The aim of this study was to investigate 28-day mortality after COVID-19 diagnosis in the European kidney replacement therapy population. In addition, we determined role patient characteristics, treatment factors, and country on risk with use ERA-EDTA Registry data patients receiving Europe from February 1, 2020, April 30, 2020. Additional all a were collected 7 countries encompassing 4298 patients. COVID-19–attributable calculated using propensity score–matched historic control 28 days...
This article summarizes the ERA-EDTA Registry's 2016 Annual Report, by describing epidemiology of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage disease (ESRD) in within 36 countries.In 2017 and 2018, Registry received data on patients undergoing RRT ESRD from 52 national or regional registries. In all, 32 registries provided individual patient 20 aggregated data. The incidence prevalence survival probabilities these were determined.In 2016, was 121 per million population (pmp), ranging 29...
Studies in cardiology often record the time to multiple disease events such as death, myocardial infarction, or hospitalization. Competing risks methods allow for analysis of first observed event and type event. They are also relevant if a specific is primary interest but competing may preclude its occurrence greatly alter chances observe it. We give non-technical overview concepts descriptive regression analyses. For statistics, cumulative incidence function most important tool. modelling,...
This article summarizes the European Renal Association – Dialysis and Transplant (ERA-EDTA) Registry’s 2015 Annual Report. It describes epidemiology of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage disease (ESRD) in within 36 countries. In 2016 2017, ERA-EDTA Registry received data on patients who were undergoing RRT ESRD 2015, from 52 national or regional registries. Thirty-two registries provided individual patient-level 20 aggregated-level data. The incidence, prevalence survival...
The European Renal Association (ERA) Registry collects data on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in patients with ESKD. This paper is a summary of the ERA Annual Report 2020, also including comparisons among primary renal disease (PRD) groups.Data were collected from 52 national and regional registries 34 countries bordering Mediterranean Sea: 35 18 providing individual level 17 aggregated data. Using this data, KRT incidence prevalence, transplantation rates, expected remaining lifetimes...
Background. Recent studies have indicated a stabilization in the incidence rates of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage disease (ESRD) number European countries. The aim this study was to provide an update on incidence, prevalence and outcomes RRT Europe over past decade. Methods. Nineteen national or regional registries with registry data from 1997 2006 participated study. Incidence trends were analysed Poisson Joinpoint regression. Cox regression methods used examine patient...
This study examines the time trends in incidence, prevalence, patient and kidney allograft survival causes of death (COD) patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) Europe.Eighteen national or regional registries providing data to European Renal Association-European Dialysis Transplant Association Registry between 1998 2011 were included. Incidence prevalence 2001 studied with Joinpoint Poisson regression. Patient COD analysed using Kaplan-Meier competing risk methods Cox...
Background. This study evaluates the association between estimated GFR (eGFR) at start of dialysis and mortality within Europe. Methods. Renal registries participating in ERA–EDTA Registry were asked to provide data on serum creatinine recorded 0–4 weeks before incident patients 1999 2003. Within this cohort study, available 11 472 from nine national or regional European renal registries. Cox regression analyses performed examine by four-variable MDRD equation all-cause mortality, using a...
The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method is used to analyze ‘time-to-event’ data. outcome in KM analysis often includes all-cause mortality, but could also include other outcomes such as the occurrence of a cardiovascular event. purpose this article explain basic concepts method, provide some guidance regarding presentation results and discuss important limitations method. To do this, we use clinical example derived from nephrology literature.
Background. Incidence rates of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage disease vary considerably worldwide. This study examines the independent association between general population, health care system and service characteristics RRT incidence rates. Methods. data (2003–2005) were obtained from registries; population age macroeconomic indices collected secondary sources. Renal organization resource through interviews questionnaires. Linear regression models built to establish factors...
This article summarizes the 2012 European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association Registry Annual Report (available at www.era-edta-reg.org) with a specific focus on older patients (defined as ≥65 years).Data provided by 45 national or regional renal registries in 30 countries Europe bordering Mediterranean Sea were used. Individual patient level data received from 31 registries, whereas 14 contributed an aggregated form. The incidence, prevalence survival...
Data on renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage disease were collected by the European Renal Association (ERA) Registry via national and regional registries in Europe countries bordering Mediterranean Sea. This article provides a summary of 2019 ERA Annual Report, including data from 34 additional age comparisons.Individual patient provided 35 aggregated 17 registries. Using these data, incidence prevalence RRT, kidney transplantation activity survival probabilities calculated.In 2019,...
