The chronic kidney disease outcomes and practice patterns study Brazil (CKDopps-Brazil): Design, data and methodology

Abstract

Launching in 2013, CKDopps Brazil will study advanced CKD care in a random selection of nephrology clinics across Brazil to gain understanding of variation in care across the country, and as part of a multinational study to identify optimal treatment practices to slow kidney disease progression and improve outcomes during the transition period to end-stage kidney disease.

The Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS): Unifying Efforts to Inform Practice and Improve Global Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis

“…Now entering its sixth phase and expanded to 21 countries, the DOPPS has identified key HD findings (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) that have helped shape international clinical practice guidelines and global HD practices, as well as inform country-level policy changes and initiatives to mitigate unwarranted practice variation to improve outcomes (19). As a logical extension of its goals and study design, the DOPPS Program has expanded into studies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (CKDopps, for CKD stages 3 -5) (27) and peritoneal dialysis (PDOPPS). The goals of the DOPPS Program are centered around the hypothesis that measurable differences in center practices influence patient outcomes.…”

Aspectos epidemiológicos de pacientes com doença renal crônica em programa de diálise peritoneal: levantamento de 22 anos

“…Diversos estudos corroboram com esses achados (DE MORAES et al, 2014;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014;RAJAEEFARD et al, 2016;VAVRUK et al 2012, GONÇALVES et al, 2013 .…”

“…Esse dado é semelhante em vários estudos (BAE et al, 2015;GONÇALVES et al, 2013;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014;SANABRIA et al, 2015). Ao analisarmos a média Ainda Bevilacqua et al (1995) descreveu dados referentes ao tempo de acompanhamento inferior ao deste estudo como também, Oliveira et al (2016) no qual o tempo de acompanhamento foi de 1,5 anos de seguimento.…”

“…Para uma casuística de toda a população que realizou TRS no HCFMRP-USP, o tempo de acompanhamento médio foi aceitável quando comparados aos estudos nacionais e internacionais. (MELAMED et al, 2006;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014;SANABRIA et al, 2015;SESSO et al, 2014b;VAVRUK et al, 2012;BEVILAQUA,et al, 1995).…”
