The prevalence was about double using the Cockcroft-Gault equations, i.e. 7.5% (95% CI: 6.9 – 8.2%) and 34.9 (95% CI: 25.9 – 44.8%) in age ≤ 50 and > 50 years, respectively. The prevalence was similar in Caucasians and Asians aged ≤ 60, i.e. 9.9 versus 9.3%. The prevalence was also higher in the diabetic population than in the general population, i.e. 18.2% versus 10.6%. The pooled prevalence of CKD in the general population varied according to age groups. The prevalence is similar in Caucasians and Asians within age 60 years or younger but other age groups need more studies in order to pool. Individual patient meta-analysis would be appropriate to resolve the causes of heterogeneity.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:41 AEDT ]]> What is the best fluid type for management of patients with an identified acute kidney injury? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37999 Fri 23 Jul 2021 14:30:32 AEST ]]>
