Monitoring, Control, and Clinical Outcomes Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disorder: A Population-Based Cohort Study in Ontario, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rationale & Objective: Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) affects bone and cardiovascular health. We examined the monitoring, control, and outcomes associated with CKD-MBD. Study Design: Observational cohort study using ICES administrative data. Setting& Participants: Adults aged 40 years and older from Ontario, Canada, with at least 2 outpatient estimated glomerular filtration rate values or receiving dialysis between January 2017 and March 2020. Exposure: CKD stage based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Outcomes: Albumin-corrected serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and 25 hydroxyvitamin D testing and control at 365 days, and the percentage of patients monitored and controlled per guidelines. We also examined the association between laboratory values, fragility fracture, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in CKD stage 4, 5 and dialysis. Analytical Approach: Descriptive statistics were used for primary and secondary outcomes. For exploratory outcomes, we examined the cumulative incidence and incidence rate of fragility fracture and MACE based on laboratory values, and adjusted analyses using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Results: There were 2,580,781 people included, of whom, 303,884 had CKD (stage 3A or higher). Monitoring and control of CKD-MBD was suboptimal across the CKD spectrum. Even in maintenance dialysis, the proportion who met laboratory monitoring targets was low (5.1% had all tests measured over 365 days). The most commonly controlled laboratory value was alkaline phosphatase (55.6% were at target across the CKD spectrum). In exploratory analysis, a small protective effect of a higher calcium and phosphate level on fragility fracture was observed, with a parathyroid hormone level of 20-80 pmol/L appearing optimal for bone health in dialysis. There appeared to be a small statistically significant association between higher levels of alkaline phosphatase and phosphate with MACE in dialysis. Limitations: Results are only generalizable to adults with laboratory tests reported within the Ontario Laboratory Information System. Exploratory analyses were limited by events. Conclusions: There are gaps in the monitoring and control of CKD-MBD in Ontario, even in groups in which evidence to support management is highest. Focused studies on whether the control of CKD-MBD improves patient-important outcomes remain important.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
