Implementation of KDIGO CKD Screening and Its Prognostic Implications in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 75 Years or Older: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Key takeaways
This large community study checked how well a standard kidney-screening approach (KDIGO) worked in adults aged 75 and older. It found the screening helped predict who was at risk of harm. This is an observational cohort, so it shows patterns, not proof of cause.
