Andrea MillerLeanne BrownClara TamuAlice J CairnsPublished in: BMC health services research (2023)
The CYKC model was able to target those clients at high risk of progression and increase the number of people with chronic kidney disease reviewed by specialist kidney services within community. Baseline data demonstrated a high burden of chronic disease that subsequently will increase risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular disease. People were seen to have more severe disease at younger ages, with a substantial number demonstrating risk factors for rapid progression of kidney disease including poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes and severely increased albuminuria. Further evaluation concerning implementation challenges, consumer and community satisfaction, and health outcomes is required.
