Research project: HHRCKD Hampshire Health Record Chronic Kidney Disease study

Currently Active:: Yes

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important, prevalent, and sometimes under-recognised problem.

Project Overview

The majority of moderate CKD (stage 3) is managed in Primary Care. The Hampshire Health Record (HHR) is a shared clinical record that holds individual linked extracts of GP and hospital records for a population of about 1.1 million people in 132 General Practices in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The HHRCKD Study is a retrospective cohort study of 24,000 people with prevalent CKD in 2008 (defined biochemically from routine blood tests), followed up over 5 years to investigate:

Aspects of CKD management in primary care such as identification of CKD and measurement of albumin:creatinine ratio
Need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis and transplant), incidence of cardiovascular disease, and mortality
Appropriate use of medication
Health service use measures, including emergency hospital admission
Evidence of socioeconomic inequality in the above areas of investigation
