Preterm birth was a risk factor for adverse outcomes in this heterogenous cohort of children and adults with glomerular disease. Adults born preterm were more likely to have an APOL1 high-risk genotype and FSGS. In analyses adjusted for FSGS and APOL1 risk status, there was less remission and faster progression of kidney disease in those born preterm.
