Nationwide cohort study analyzes CKD prevalence, incidence, and mortality in diabetes, indicating clinical significance.
Key Points
The study aims to assess trends in the prevalence, incidence, and mortality of chronic kidney disease in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Denmark.
Nationwide register-based cohort study from 2016 to 2024 in Denmark.
CKD defined by glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria criteria using linked national registers.
Annual calculations of prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates reported per 1000 person-years, stratified by diabetes type, sex, and age.
CKD prevalence increased from 20.5% to 26.4% in T1D and from 24.8% to 37.3% in T2D.
CKD incidence declined from 21.5 to 14.9 per 1000 PY in T1D and from 55.3 to 43.7 per 1000 PY in T2D, with notable reductions in older populations.
Mortality rates remained higher among individuals with CKD despite overall declines in mortality for both diabetes types.
