Why the study?
This study was conducted to systematically assess the risk of developing CKD in patients with COPD and to evaluate the impact of CKD on the prognosis of COPD patients.
Does COPD increase the risk of developing CKD, and does CKD increase mortality risk in patients with COPD?
Population
23 studies of patients with COPD or AECOPD
Comparison
COPD vs non-COPD for CKD risk, and CKD vs non-CKD for mortality in COPD
Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis

May warrant CKD monitoring in COPD; confirms bidirectional associations but leaves causal effects open for RCTs.
Does COPD increase the risk of developing CKD, and does CKD increase mortality risk in patients with COPD?
COPD is significantly associated with an increased risk of developing CKD, and the presence of CKD significantly increases both short- and long-term all-cause mortality in COPD patients.
