Provenance
This data quality check was run on a database extracted from the The Preserving Kidney Function in Children With CKD (PRESERVE) Study. These results were not used for the study, but rather run on the study data after analysis was conducted as part of an SSQDA demonstration project.
Description
- Pediatric institutions have the highest proportion of specialty utilization across several categories, like Stanford with the highest proportion of Primary Care / General Peds or Nemours with the highest proportion of Nephrology.
- The most utilized specialties across both labs and prescriptions were Primary Care / General Peds, Nephrology, Cardiology, and Other/Unknown. There is high heterogeneity in these categories, with a wide range of visit proportions across sites.
- Some notable findings are that Lurie has a high proportion of Emergency Medicine specialty utilization compared to other sites, Nationwide is one of the only sites with Hematology interaction, and UFlorida has a high proportion of Palliative Care utilization.
Response to Findings
Study team did not conduct further investigation or data intervention in response to these results because this was a demonstration project intended to highlight the functionality of the SQUBA tool.
