Designing and Implementing a Safety Net Surveillance Program for High Risk CKD (CKD Safety Net)
The objective of this initiative is to develop and evaluate a risk-based, provincial public health screening program for chronic kidney disease (CKD) that provides proactive care for adults at high-risk of kidney failure who have not previously been referred to a nephrologist, through risk stratification, triage, education, and follow-up.
Overall, we aim to demonstrate that an integrated risk-based provincial public health screening program for CKD is feasible, and improves identification of high-risk individuals, subsequently creating a model of care that can be adopted by other jurisdictions.
Inclusion: Age > 18 years old; Resident of Manitoba / has Manitoba Health coverage; Either:; 2 eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2 tests within a 2-year timeframe or; A greater than 10% 2-year kidney failure risk (at 2 separate timepoints within a 2-year timeframe) - using the 4-variable or 3-variable 2-year Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE).
Exclusion: A previous billing claim from a nephrologist; Receiving palliative care within 3 months of randomization; Previous history of dialysis and/or kidney transplantation.
