Executive summary for the 2015 Annual Data Report of the China Kidney Disease Network (CK-NET)

“…Previously, we performed a validation study using data from 67,376 patients from 3 hospitals in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System data set, which are the pilot hospitals that accomplished the Hospital Quality Monitoring System phase II data collection expansion to the data from laboratory tests. 10 CKD was defined as the presence of proteinuria and/or an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . The sensitivity and specificity of CKD identification by International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, coding was 34.2% and 97.8%, respectively; which explained the relatively low percentage of CKD among the hospitalized population.…”
