The Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Cohort Study
The complexity of CKD management in children is increased by the number of comorbid conditions. This study assessed the prevalence of comorbidities in pediatric CKD and the frequency with which multiple comorbidities present together by assessing prevalent medication use by CKD stage and diagnosis and their association with clinical or sociodemographic factors. The association between number and frequency of dosing of medications prescribed and self-report of nonadherence was also assessed.
