Completed
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease
Registration Number
NCT04034992

Brief Summary

DISCOVER CKD is an international observational cohort study in patients with CKD, comprising both prospective and retrospective patient cohorts. The study does not attempt to test any specific a priori hypotheses, is largely descriptive, and utilises data collected only under conditions of routine clinical care.

Detailed Description

DISCOVER CKD is an international observational cohort study in CKD patients, comprising both prospective and retrospective patient cohorts. The study does not attempt to test any specific a priori hypotheses, is largely descriptive, and utilises data collected only under conditions of routine clinical care. No additional invasive clinical tests or procedures are mandated per study protocol, and all data collected/extracted is based solely on observations of disease management and treatment decisions made between the treating physicians and their patients, and is not intended to be interventional in anyway. Patients will not receive any experimental intervention or experimental treatment as a result of participating in this study. Analyses will be conducted separately for prospective and retrospective CKD cohorts (via interim reports), and then in aggregate by combining prospective and retrospective data, to the extent possible, at the end of the study.
