Background

The implementation of existing clinical guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is inadequate. This article evaluates how guideline-based Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) affects laboratory monitoring of patients with Stage 3-4 Chronic Kidney Disease, an attaining laboratory goals in those patients. [1]

Methods

Results

Conclusions

Appendix

  • Lab measurement frequency and range targets used in the analysis. [2]
  • Baseline patient characteristics. [3]
  • Estimated odds ratio for ordering laboratory tests within guideline-recommended intervals: CDSS vs Controls. [4]
  • Effect of CDSS on adherence to guideline testing intervals for eGFR. [5]
  • Effect of CDSS on adherence to guideline testing intervals for phosphorus (a) and PTH (b). [6]
  • Effect of CDSS on adherence to guideline testing intervals for LDL-C (a) and Urine Panels (b). [7]
  • Effect of CDSS on achievement of guideline targets for LDL cholesterol (a) and 25-D (b). [8]
  • Estimated odds ratio for achieving guideline-recommended laboratory test targets: CDSS vs Controls. [9]
