About this trial

This is an observational longitudinal study which will collect routine demographic, laboratory and clinical parameters of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the Silesian and Warmia and Mazury Regions (Poland) aimed at predicting incident cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular and renal events using machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches. There will be a subgroup analysis of patients with diabetes and CKD.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

CKD defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or urine albumin creatinine ratio ( UACR) > 30 mg/g lasting at least 3 months

CKD regardless of eGFR/albuminuria when documented otherwise (by means of imaging, renal biopsy result, genetic background, etc)

Disqualifiers

Death during hospital stay

Terminal stage of cancer

Lack of an informed consent

Trial population

Patients hospitalized in nephrology departments in Zabrze and Olsztyn.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incident Coronary Artery Disease

New occurrence of coronary artery disease as diagnosed by standard medical procedures.

Time frame
Annually, 10 years from enrollment
2

Myocardial Infarction

New occurrence of myocardial infarction as confirmed by electrocardiogram and/or biomarkers.

Time frame
Annually, 10 years from enrollment
3

New onset heart failure or exacerbation of heart failure

New-Onset Heart Failure: Diagnosis based on the ESC guidelines, which include symptoms such as breathlessness, ankle swelling, and fatigue; objective evidence of cardiac dysfunction or structural abnormality in echocardiography; and response to treatment directed towards heart failure. Hospitalization for decompensated heart failure: Requires unscheduled admission to a healthcare facility with heart failure as the primary reason for admission.

Time frame
Annually, 10 years from enrollment
4

Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack

New occurrence of stroke as confirmed by neuroimaging or transient ischemic attack ascertained by typical symptoms.

Time frame
Annually, 10 years from enrollment

Secondary outcomes

1

Machine-learning predictors of outcomes, including ECG predictors and retinal imaging predictors.

Using new statistical methods in predicting outcomes

Time frame
10 years from enrollment
2

Cluster analyses.

Use of statistical cluster analysis to identify patterns within primary outcome measures.

Time frame
10 years from enrollment
