Abstract

DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a cohort including all patients followed up in our multidisciplinary clinic in July 2014.

MEASUREMENTS: Comorbidity, laboratory, and clinical data were collected and compared with the recommendations of scientific organizations.

RESULTS: The cohort included 128 patients, 37.5% of whom were women. Mean follow-up time was 26.6 ± 25.1 months and mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 14.0 ± 4.7 mL/min/1.73 m

LIMITATIONS: Our study is a single center study with the majority of our patients being Caucasian. This limits the generalizability of our findings.

CONCLUSION: The control rates of various parameters were satisfactory given the difficult clinical context, but could be optimized. We publish these data in the hope that they are helpful to others engaged in quality improvement in their own programs or more generally.
