TLDR
In this paper, the authors compared differences in mortality and the duration of hospitalization in patients with chronic kidney disease who are referred early versus late to nephrologists and found that there was significantly increased overall mortality in the late referral group as compared with the early referral group.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Early recognition and prevention of chronic kidney disease.
TL;DR: Novel clinical methods to better identify patients at risk of progression to later stages of chronic kidney disease, including kidney failure, are needed to target management to high-risk subgroups.

Outcomes of early versus late nephrology referral in chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.
Neil A. Smart,Thomas Titus +1 more
TL;DR: Results show reduced mortality and hospitalization, better uptake of peritoneal dialysis, and earlier placement of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis with early nephrology referral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early referral to specialist nephrology services for preventing the progression to end-stage kidney disease.
TL;DR: Evaluated the benefits and harms of early versus late referral to specialist nephrology services in CKD patients who are progressing to ESKD and RRT, which showed patients referred early were more likely than late referrals to initiate RRT with peritoneal dialysis.

Outpatient Nephrology Referral Rates after Acute Kidney Injury
Edward D. Siew,Josh F. Peterson,Svetlana K. Eden,Adriana M. Hung,Theodore Speroff,T. Alp Ikizler,Michael E. Matheny +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a minority of at-risk survivors are referred for nephrology care after an episode of AKI, and determining how to best identify survivors ofAKI who are at highest risk for complications and progression of CKD could facilitate early nephrolog-based interventions.

KHA‐CARI Guideline: Early chronic kidney disease: Detection, prevention and management
David W. Johnson,Emelia Atai,Maria F. Chan,Richard Ks Phoon,Clodagh Scott,Nigel D Toussaint,Graeme L Turner,Tim Usherwood,Kathryn J. Wiggins +8 more
TL;DR: Early detection of CKD may have value, although criteria for a screening programme to detect the disease must be met to balance the aggregate benefits with the risks and costs of the screening tests.

TL;DR: In the early 1990s, the National Kidney Foundation (K/DOQI) developed a set of clinical practice guidelines to define chronic kidney disease and to classify stages in the progression of kidney disease.

TL;DR: The goal is to disseminate the simple definition and five-stage classification system of Chronic kidney disease, to summarize the major recommendations on early detection of chronic kidney disease in adults, and to consider some of the issues associated with these recommendations.

Meta-analysis: Principles and procedures
TL;DR: These principles are discussed, along with the practical steps in performing meta-analysis, which allow a more objective appraisal of the evidence than traditional narrative reviews, provide a more precise estimate of a treatment effect, and may explain heterogeneity between the results of individual studies.
Book
Methods for Meta-Analysis in Medical Research
TL;DR: This book discusses meta-analysis's development and uses, and discusses Bayesian methods in Meta-analysis, as well as specific and developing areas of applications inMeta-Analysis.
