Concept set intended to identify nephrology visits.

Variable Status

Provenance

This concept set was developed for the Preserving Kidney Function in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease (PRESERVE) study. Nephrology visits are a key variable for the PRESERVE study, as the focus is kidney disease. Patients in the cohort were required to have at least one nephrology visit and number of nephrology visits per person year was an covariate of interest.

Description

This concept set contains codes intended to identify nephrology visits (in combination with the nephrology provider concept set). This concept set was generated by restricting the PCORnet CDM value set to facility types that mention “nephrology”. This value set is PCORnet-specific and is based on PCORnet CDM v6.0 2021-04.

A PEDSnet equivalent concept set, _Nephrology, Providers and Care Sites, is linked below.
