Abstract

Aim: There are different methods to identify chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)-Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). Methods: Using CPRD-HES, nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients were classified according to CKD category. Results: Using glomerular filtration rate/estimated glomerular filtration rate tests only to identify patients with CKD resulted in 3.5% stage 2, 2.7% stage 3, 0.3% stage 4 and 0.03% stage 5. Using data from diagnostic codes to identify patients with CKD resulted in 1.4% stage 3, 0.4% stage 4 and 0.3% stage 5. Using test records and codes resulted in 3.5% stage 2, 4.0% stage 3, 0.6% stage 4 and 0.4% stage 5. Conclusion: To identify CKD status in CPRD-HES, a combination of test records and codes should be used. Using diagnostic codes only significantly underestimates CKD prevalence.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
