Patient Management and Clinical Outcomes Associated with a Recorded Diagnosis of Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease : The REVEAL-CKD Study

© 2023. The Author(s)..

INTRODUCTION: Guidelines for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) recommend early intervention and management to slow disease progression. However, associations between diagnosis and CKD progression are not fully understood.

METHODS: REVEAL-CKD (NCT04847531) is a retrospective observational study of patients with stage 3 CKD. Data were extracted from the US TriNetX database. Eligible patients had two consecutive estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measurements indicative of stage 3 CKD (≥ 30 and < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) recorded 91-730 days apart from 2015 to 2020. Diagnosed patients were included if their first CKD diagnosis code was recorded at least 6 months after their second qualifying eGFR measurement. We assessed CKD management and monitoring practices for the 180 days before and after CKD diagnosis, annual eGFR decline in the 2 years before and after CKD diagnosis, and associations between diagnostic delay and post-diagnosis event rates.

RESULTS: The study included 26,851 patients. After diagnosis, we observed significant increases in the prescribing rate of guideline-recommended medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (rate ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.87 [1.82, 1.93]), angiotensin receptor blockers (1.91 [1.85, 1.97]) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (2.23 [2.13, 2.34]). Annual eGFR decline was significantly reduced following a CKD diagnosis, from 3.20 ml/min/1.73 m2 before diagnosis to 0.74 ml/min/1.73 m2 after diagnosis. Delayed diagnosis (by 1-year increments) was associated with elevated risk of CKD progression to stage 4/5 (1.40 [1.31-1.49]), kidney failure (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.63 [1.23-2.18]) and the composite of myocardial infarction, stroke and hospitalization for heart failure (1.08 [1.04-1.13]).

CONCLUSIONS: A recorded CKD diagnosis was associated with significant improvements in CKD management and monitoring practices and attenuated eGFR decline. Recorded diagnosis of stage 3 CKD is an important first step to reduce the risk of disease progression and minimize adverse clinical outcomes.
