We identified 529,312 adults who had at least three outpatient egfr measurements over a 4-year period from a provincial laboratory repository in Alberta, Canada. Two indices of change in egfr were evaluated: the absolute annual rate of change (in ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year) and the annual percentage change (percent/year). The adjusted mortality risk associated with each category of change in egfr was assessed, using stable egfr (no change) as the reference. Over a median follow-up of 2.5 years there were 32,372 deaths. Compared to the reference participants, those with the greatest absolute annual decline less than or equal to 5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year had significantly increased mortality (hazard ratio of 1.52) adjusted for covariates and kidney function at baseline (last egfr measurement). Participants with the greatest increase in egfr of 5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year or more also had significantly increased mortality (adjusted hazard ratio of 2.20). A similar pattern was found when change in egfr was quantified as an annual percentage change. Thus, both declining and increasing egfr were independently associated with mortality and underscore the importance of identifying change in egfr over time to improve mortality risk prediction.

Brenda.hemmelgarn@albertahealthservices.ca Received 18 March 2012; revised 8 October 2012; accepted 18 October 2012; published online 23 January 2013 Studies have consistently demonstrated that more advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of mortality across both general and high-risk populations. 1 5 However, these reports have predominantly considered kidney function at baseline, without consideration of how the change in kidney function over time influences the risk of such outcomes. There has been a growing interest in the association between change in kidney function and risk of adverse outcomes. Although populationbased studies have reported an association between declining kidney function specifically and adverse clinical outcomes, 6 11 kidney function can be highly variable and improve over time in some patients. 10,12 Although recent studies have reported an association between improvements in kidney function (increasing estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr)) and risk of mortality, 7,8 these studies were limited by their select study population (CKD patients only 7 ) and small study size. 7,8 Using a population-based cohort of individuals receiving routine clinical care in a single Canadian province, we investigated the association between changes in kidney function over time and risk of all-cause mortality. We explored change in kidney function using two indices: absolute annual rate of change and the annual percentage change. We hypothesized that both increasing and declining egfr would be associated with higher mortality risk, as compared with stable kidney function. RESULTS Among the participants, 54.8% had an egfr X90, 37.9% had an egfr in the range of 60 89, 4.9% had an egfr in the range of 45 59, 1.7% had an egfr in the range of 30 44, and 0.7% had an egfr in the range of (all egfr in ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ). The median number of measurements available for the study participants was 3. The distribution of annual rate of change appeared normal and centered near the origin (Figure 1). The mean annual rate of change was 1.04 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year (s.d.: 3.83), with a median of 0.91 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year (interquartile 684 Kidney International (2013) 83,

The distribution of the annual percentage change in egfr, which also appeared normal, is shown in Figure 1. The mean annual percent change in egfr was 1.52 percent/year (s.d.: 6.05), with a median of 1.07 percent/year (IQR: 3.77 to 1.34).

Among the study cohort, 135,804 (25.7%) had stable kidney function (no change in kidney function over the accrual period), 133,723 (25.6%) had a positive slope (improved kidney function), and 257,785 (48.7%) had a negative slope (declining kidney function). Participants experiencing a greater annual decline or increase in egfr were more likely to be female and had a higher prevalence of comorbidities, in comparison with those with stable kidney function (Table 1). Over a median follow-up of 2.5 years, there were 32,372 (6.1%) deaths. Adjusted mortality rates were higher, with both declining and increasing egfr (Table 2), as compared with those with stable kidney function: the greater the change in egfr, the higher the mortality risk. Mortality rates (per 1000 person-years) were highest for participants with an increase in egfr of 5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year or more (rate 16.52; 95% confidence interval (CI): ) and participants with a decline in egfr of 5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year or more (rate 11.27; 95% CI: ). Similarly, higher mortality rates were observed for increasing as well as declining percentage change in egfr (Table 3). The mortality rate was highest (rate 15.15; 95% CI: ) for participants with an increase in egfr of X7 percent/year or more, followed by participants with a decline in egfr of X7 percent/year (rate 11.60; 95% CI: ). Compared with those with stable egfr, the adjusted risk of death was almost two-fold higher in participants with an increase in egfr of X5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year (hazard ratio (HR) 2.20; 95% CI ), whereas those with a decline in egfr of X5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year also had 2-fold increased risk (HR 1.52; 95% CI: ) (Figure 3). Similarly, we observed a U-shaped relation between percentage change in egfr per year and all-cause mortality (Figure 4). The risk of mortality was 2.02 times higher (95% CI: ) for the participants with an increase in egfr of X7 percent/year or more, and the mortality risk was 1.56 times higher (95% CI: ) for the participants with a decrease in egfr of 7 percent/year or more.

5 clinical investigation TC Turin et al.: Short-term change in egfr and ESRD status, as well as when analysis was performed including participants with an egfr o15 ml/min/1.73 m 2 (data not shown). DISCUSSION In this community-based cohort, change in egfr over a period of up to 4 years (and requiring at least three egfr measurements) was associated with an independent and graded increase in the risk of death. Compared with participants with stable kidney function, both declining and increasing egfr was associated with a higher risk of death. The risk was consistent across subgroups of kidney function categories. Our observations regarding declining egfr and mortality risk are consistent with other reports. The Cardiovascular Health Study included 4380 community-dwelling older adults with normal kidney function 6 and reported a rate of change of egfr over a 7-year follow-up period. Sixteen percent of participants experienced rapid decline in egfr (rate 43 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year). Rapid decline in kidney function was associated with a two-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality. It is interesting to note that even in the group of patients who had rapid decline in egfr, the average egfr at the end of the follow-up period was 69 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 (whereas average baseline egfr for participants was 79 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ). Similarly, in our study, a change in egfr among higher levels of baseline kidney function was also associated with increased risk of death, suggesting that even with preserved kidney function the rate of change has prognostic information for future mortality risk. The Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) cohort 8 also examined the association between 3- and 9-year changes in egfr and the risk of death in 13,029 participants by dividing the patients into quartiles on the basis of percentage annual change in egfr. The authors reported that the quartile of patients with the greatest annual decline in egfr over 3 years was at a 22% greater risk of death compared with the patients who experienced minimal annual decline in egfr. Similarly, patients with the greatest annual decline in egfr over 9 years were at 41% greater risk of death compared with the patients who experienced minimal annual decline in egfr. Data from the Department of Veterans Affairs has provided similar results 9 where, during a median of 2.6 years, 10%, 28%, and 24% of participants experienced mild, moderate, and severe CKD progression, respectively (defined as egfr loss of 0 1, 1 4, 44 ml/min/year), with an increased risk of death for those with moderate or severe CKD progression. Finally, a recent study of 15,465 patients with stage 3 and 4 CKD receiving primary care at a single institution 7 reported an 84% increase in mortality for those with decreasing egfr (median 4.8 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year, IQR: 8.2 to 3.2), compared with those with stable egfr. Apart from egfr, changes in serum albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) over time have also been studied and were reported to be associated with adverse outcome risk. Among adult hemodialysis patients, a decrease in serum albumin was associated with increased mortality risk. 13 Although there was no association between change in albumin and all-cause mortality in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam, 14 an increase in CRP levels 15 was associated with an increased mortality risk among the elderly. Why is declining kidney function associated with an increased risk for death? Declining kidney function may contribute to increased risk by aggravating cardiovascular risk factors, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and vascular damage, as well as through activation of the renin angiotensin system induced by renal impairment. 6,8,16,17 Further, worsening kidney function among patients with relatively severe impaired kidney function status may result in decreased appetite, decreased physical function, and overall frailty, 6,18,19 thus indirectly contributing to a higher mortality risk among this subgroup. Our finding that increasing egfr is associated with excess mortality is also similar to previous studies. Perkins et al. 7 reported that, in comparison with patients with stable egfr, increasing egfr was associated with a 42% increased risk of death. Among ARIC study participants with stage 3 CKD, 8 the group with minimal decline or an increase in egfr (annual change: 0.33 to 42.94%) also experienced a two-fold increased risk of death. Recently Al-Aly et al. 10 reported that (compared with patients with mild CKD progression) those who experienced no decline in kidney function exhibited a trend toward increased risk of death (HR 1.15; 95% CI: ). The explanation for the association between increasing egfr over time and increased risk of death is not apparent, but this finding might be attributable to lower serum creatinine generation as a result of reduced muscle mass associated with chronic debilitating conditions. 10,20 Although our analysis included only outpatient serum creatinine measurements and further focused on those who had measurements available over longer time horizons (median egfr accrual period 3.0 years) to minimize the effect of acute kidney injury, the residual confounding from resolving acute kidney injury may also have contributed to the observed increased mortality risk associated with improvement in kidney function. However, exclusion of patients with acute kidney injury related hospitalizations during the egfr accrual window did not qualitatively affect our study results. These findings indicate toward the possibility that increasing egfr could be a marker of illness rather than an independent risk factor for death. Our study is strengthened by its large sample size, which allowed us to study participants with a broad range of baseline kidney function. Our study also has limitations. The study cohort was limited to individuals who had outpatient serum creatinine measurements as part of routine care, and therefore does not include individuals who did not access medical services. This might have resulted in inclusion of patients with comorbid conditions associated with a more rapid change in egfr and increased risk of the adverse outcomes. However, as we studied mortality among subjects with an estimate of kidney function, this limitation does not 688 Kidney International (2013) 83,
6 TC Turin et al.: Short-term change in egfr and ESRD clinical investigation invalidate our findings. Given that we have used multiple serum creatinine measurements over time, laboratory drift over time may have influenced the study results. However, the impact of this potential laboratory drift is expected to be minimal, as we calibrated measurements across time periods against a subset of healthy participants. Further, we have previously reported on the increased mortality risk associated with short-term changes in kidney function (adults with at least two outpatient egfr measurements during a 1-year accrual period). 21 The categorization of baseline kidney function categories was based on egfr values alone, which may have led to misclassification of kidney function. In addition, although we have adjusted for the presence and severity of proteinuria, the majority of these measurements were based on urinary dipstick, limiting our ability to assess change in proteinuria levels over time. Finally, although we adjusted for demographic factors, measured comorbidities, and proteinuria, we were unable to adjust for covariates such as body mass index, blood pressure control, cause of kidney disease, and smoking status, introducing the possibility of residual confounding. We also could not adjust for drug use, as this information is available for a subsection of the population in Alberta aged 65 years and older. However, given the magnitude of the observed associations, this limitation is unlikely to invalidate our conclusions. In conclusion, we found that both declining and increasing egfr over time were independently associated with mortality risk. These results suggest that monitoring change in egfr over time may enhance future mortality risk prognostication in addition to the baseline kidney function. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study population and data source The study cohort consisted of adults, aged 18 years or older, in Alberta, Canada who had at least three outpatient serum creatinine measurements spanning a time period of four calendar years (Figure 2). We used the data repository of the Alberta Kidney Disease Network 22 to create the study cohort. The cohort accrual period was from 1 May 2002 to 31 December 2007, with follow-up extending to 31 March 2009 (the date up to which outcome data were available). Patients receiving chronic dialysis or a kidney transplant on or before cohort entry were identified from the databases of Northern Alberta and Southern Alberta Renal Programs and administrative data using a validated algorithm and were excluded from the current analysis. 23,24 Patients who developed endstage renal disease during the follow-up period were retained in the analysis. Among 1,818,451 patients with at least one outpatient serum creatinine measurement, there were 529,954 participants with three or more measurements over four calendar years. After exclusion of 642 participants with a first egfr o15 ml/min per 1.73 m 2, a total of 529,312 participants were included. Magnitude of change in kidney function The CKD-EPI equation 25 was used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate using outpatient serum creatinine measurements from the accrual period. Serum creatinine measurements during the study period were standardized to a central laboratory. This reference laboratory (Capital Health Region, year 2009) used an isotope dilution mass spectrometry reference standard. Gender-specific correction factors were used to ensure province-wide standardization of serum creatinine values over time. Change in egfr over time was estimated using all available outpatient egfr measurements for each patient during the accrual period. We used two indices to describe the magnitude of change in egfr: (a) the absolute annual rate of change and (b) the annual percentage change. The absolute annual rate of change in egfr was calculated by fitting a least-squares regression 6 to all measurements for each patient, where the slope of the regression line describes the absolute rate of change for egfr over time. The percentage change in egfr was calculated assuming a linear change on the log scale, consistent with prior work. 8 Given the size of the cohort, we were able to define change in egfr using a number of categories. The absolute annual rate of change in egfr was categorized as p 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, andx5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year. The annual percentage change in egfr was categorized as p 7, 6to 5, 4to 3, 2to 1, 0, 1 2, 3 4, 5 6, and X7 percent/year. Assessment of covariates Baseline was defined as the date of the last egfr measurement during the 4-year accrual period, and was the point at which followup for outcome ascertainment (all-cause mortality) commenced (Figure 2). The date of the last egfr measurement was chosen for the baseline, as this is the point when the patient is seen by the clinician and the time at which previous changes in kidney function will be taken into consideration and extrapolated for prediction of future risk. All covariates were assessed at the baseline. On the basis of Government of Alberta health-care insurance records, 26 socioeconomic status was characterized as high income (annual adjusted taxable family income X$39,250 CAD), low income (annual adjusted taxable family income o$39,250 CAD), low income with subsidy (receiving social assistance), and pensioners (65 years of age and older). 3,22 Using validated algorithms 27,28 from hospital discharge records and physician claims, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were identified. The Deyo classification of Charlson comorbidities were identified from the physician claims and hospitalization records using validated ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 coding algorithms. 29 Kidney function at baseline was divided into categories of egfr X90, 60 89, 45 59, 30 44, and ml/min per 1.73 m 2, respectively. Baseline proteinuria was estimated by urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) or urine dipstick based on outpatient random spot urine measurements, and was categorized as normal, mild, heavy, or unmeasured based on ACR (normal: o30 mg/g, mild: mg/g, or heavy: 4300 mg/g) or urine dipstick (negative: no trace, mild: trace or 1 þ, or heavy: 2 þ ). 3,30 Serum albumin or CRP levels were not available for the study participants. Assessment of outcome The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality, as determined from Vital Statistics data of the Alberta Health and Wellness Registry file. Outcome ascertainment was prospectively performed from the date of the last outpatient serum creatinine measurement in the accrual period (baseline) to the end of the study (31 March 2009). Statistical analyses Poisson regression was used to estimate all-cause mortality rates, expressed per 1000 person-years of follow-up, for each group of Kidney International (2013) 83,
7 clinical investigation TC Turin et al.: Short-term change in egfr and ESRD change in egfr, after adjustment for sociodemographic variables, baseline kidney function, proteinuria, and covariates. If the Poisson assumption was not met, a quasi-poisson model was used. 31 Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the adjusted risk of all-cause mortality associated with each group of change in kidney function, with stable kidney function (0 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year for the absolute rate of change and 0 percent/year for percentage change) used as the reference. The proportional hazards assumption was tested and met. Participants were censored at study end (31 March 2009) if they were still at risk or at an earlier date if they experienced the event of interest or if they left the province. We performed several sensitivity analyses to verify the robustness of our study findings. We repeated analyses stratified by baseline egfr category for rate of change by both absolute rate of change and percentage change. We also repeated all analyses in which baseline was defined as the first egfr measurement during the 4- year accrual period. We also repeated analyses excluding participants who had an acute kidney injury related hospitalization 32 during the egfr accrual period. Analysis was also undertaken stratified by socioeconomic status categories. Finally, we also repeated analyses including participants with an egfr o15 ml/min/1.73 m 2. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.2 (SAS Institute, NC) and STATA version 11.2 (STATA, College Station, TX). The institutional review board of the University of Calgary approved the study. DISCLOSURE All the authors declared no competing interests.
