Occurrence and prognosis of chronic kidney disease in Denmark – a nationwide population-based cohort study
Chronic kidney disease affected nearly one in ten adults in Denmark, and one in four individuals with incident CKD died within 5 years. The occurrence and prognosis of CKD varied across urbanicity categories and was predominantly related to differences in demographics. This emphasizes the need for a targeted allocation of healthcare resources according to population demographics.
