Selection of patients for the ADPKD Non-ESRD CKD and ESRD Cohorts
ADR = Annual Data Report; ADPKD = autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; CKD = chronic kidney disease; ESRD = end-stage renal disease; USRDS = United States Renal Data System. Note: USRDS provided a flag variable in the ESRD database to indicate a data issue and stated that they did not include these records in the ADR; therefore, the current analysis also excluded these records. As shown in the figure, this resulted in 144 patients being excluded from the ESRD study cohort
