Abstract

Objective To develop new risk prediction equations for kidney failure in patients with chronic kidney disease who do not require data for the urine albumin to creatinine ratio. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Stockholm Creatinine Measurements (SCREAM) database of routinely collected electronic healthcare records in primary and outpatient care from the region of Stockholm, Sweden. Participants 116 158 adults with chronic kidney disease stages 3-4, defined by two estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) results of
