Sex differences in patterns of chronic kidney disease care in Australian primary care: A retrospective cohort study of a national general practice dataset
Females with CKD were less likely to receive CKD monitoring and cardiovascular risk management compared to males. Findings were not explained by differences in sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, with findings persisting in both high-risk subgroups and adjusted models. Further research is required to understand reasons for disparities in care.
