Phenotype Description

A phenotype to identify patients with chronic kidney dialysis based on a combination of broad and chronic dialysis procedure and condition codes, and eGFR values.

Downloadable content for this Phenotype includes two R files (cohorts.R and driver.R) and a specs folder, which includes the required concept sets.

Algothrithm Description

The computable phenotype was developed to query patients who had undergone kidney transplant and was validated against USRDS dataset and a subset of chart review patients.

The most optimal algorithm for identifying children with kidney transplant used one code from Group A (more specific) and two distinct codes from Group B (more sensitive), achieving the following performance metrics:

  • F1 Score: 0.93 (95% CI 0.89-0.97)
  • PPV: 90.7% (95% CI 84.2%-95.8%)
  • Sensitivity: 96.0% (95% CI 91.8%-100.0%)
