Implication
Supports prioritizing diabetes prevention to curb ESRD growth; leaves open contributions of cardiovascular survival gains in contemporary cohorts.

P
Population
US population in 1978 and 1991, including persons with diabetes, history of myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke, and without these conditions
O
Outcome
Treated end-stage renal disease (ESRD) incidence rate and the increase in ESRD treatment attributable to diabetes prevalence, MI/stroke survival, and population growthhard clinical
The increasing number of treated ESRD cases in the US between 1978 and 1991 is partly explained by increased diabetes prevalence and population growth, but only minimally by improved MI and stroke survival.
