Diagnosis-based cohort augmentation using laboratory results data: the case of chronic kidney disease.
This study used data from FDA’s Sentinel System to determine if augmenting a diagnosis-based chronic kidney disease cohort with patients identified through laboratory results impacted cohort characteristics and outcomes. They divided the cohort into three different groups to compare demographic, clinical, and health care utilization characteristics. They observed mortality rates between the different groups.

Physician and patient tools to improve chronic kidney disease care.
This study sought to determine if electronic health record (EHR) tools and patient engagement can improve the quality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) care. It found that, among high-risk patients, those in the intervention arm were significantly more likely to have an office visit with a nephrologist compared with those in the control arm.
