Assessing the quality of CKD care using process quality indicators: A scoping review. by Na Zhou, Chengchuan Chen, Yubei Liu, Zhaolan Yu, Aminu K Bello, Yanhua Chen, Ping Liu

“…Among the frequently reported quality indicators (in five or more studies), the following have a median proportion of study participants achieving that quality indicator exceeding 50%: monitoring of kidney markers (Scr/eGFR), use of medications (ACEIs/ARBs, avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)), management of blood pressure (with a target of ≤140/90, or without specific targets), and monitoring for glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)). The presence of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or proteinuria was associated with higher achievement in indicators of monitoring of kidney markers, use of recommended medications, and management of blood pressure and glycemia.…”
