Project Description
The purpose of PRESERVE is to provide new knowledge to inform shared decision-making regarding blood pressure management for pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hypertension occurs in 50% of children with CKD and is a major risk factor for decline in kidney function. Several clinical practice guidelines have offered recommendations for blood pressure management in pediatric CKD; however, clinical trial and large-scale observational data are limited, leading to a weak evidence base and substantial practice variation. Specific aims of the study include enhancing the PCORnet Common Data Model for pediatric and rare kidney disease research; describing and examining the effectiveness of consistent blood pressure and urine protein monitoring for preserving kidney function; comparing the effectiveness of BP medication strategies for preserving kidney function; and assess patients’ lived experiences related to blood pressure management.
