Study population: Patients attending the outpatient service of Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo, a public university facility providing quaternary-level care for patients with chronic diseases, were invited to participate in this study. Initially, from the outpatient records, all patients aged ≥ 30 years and at least two measurements of creatinine (with a minimum interval of 3 months) ≥ 1.6 mg/dl for men and ≥ 1.4 mg/ dl for women were considered potential candidates. Patients attending oncology, psychiatry, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), viral hepatitis and glomerulonephritis services were excluded. The remaining candidates were then contacted by phone and were invited to participate if they did not meet any exclusion criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients attending the outpatient service of Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo, Brazil.
  • ≥ 30 years.
  • at least two measurements of creatinine (with a minimum interval of 3 months) ≥ 1.6 mg/dl for men and ≥ 1.4 mg/ dl for women.

Who cannot join

  • Patients attending oncology, psychiatry, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), viral hepatitis and glomerulonephritis services were excluded.

About this study

Official title: Chronic Kidney Disease: Determinants of Progression and Cardiovascular Risk. A Cohort Study in a Brazilian Population

Chronic kidney disease has become an important Public Health issue in most developed and developing countries, with increasing incidence and prevalence rates. The cost associated with chronic kidney disease patients is very high, derived from renal replacement therapy and the cost associated with the high cardiovascular risk of this population. Primary and secondary preventive measures are imperative. In this sense, the comprehension of mechanisms and biomarkers associated with CKD progression and mortality risk in this population is an important area of research. Cohort studies are important tools for testing risk factors and biomarkers. Currently, CKD cohorts, particularly of those not on dialysis, are few and restricted to North America and Europe.

The present study established a cohort of 454 CKD participants (not on dialysis) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, who will be followed for 7-10 years. Baseline data collection was wide, including medical history, diet (food frequency questionnaire), calcium score, echocardiography, pulse wave velocity, cardiac frequency variability, carotid intimal media thickness, retinography, and an extensive biobank. Follow-up is ongoing and made through annual telephone interviews including questions on death, hospitalizations, and need of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Vital status is investigated periodically by a hot-pursuit strategy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Mortality

    Mortality of any cause, confirmed by official death certificates obtained through several health offices (PRO-AIM, Fundação SEADE and National Mortality Registry).

    Measured: 7 years

  2. Renal replacement therapy

    Initiation of any modality of renal replacement therapy, even if not permanently.

    Besides participant information, RRT will be ascertained through the city and state´s Registries (Sao Paulo State Registry of Dialysis and Transplantation, Sao Paulo City Registry of Dialysis and Transplantation).

    Measured: 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by University of Sao Paulo.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Mortality (time frame: 7 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03393663, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jan 2018.
