This study developed and tested a new prediction tool, called KDpredict, to predict the risk of kidney failure and mortality in individuals with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. The study used data from Canada, Denmark, and Scotland to train and test the tool. KDpredict outperformed the current benchmark model for kidney failure risk prediction, providing accurate risk predictions for both outcomes. The tool accounts for death as a competing event, supporting more holistic decision making in this patient population. KDpredict can be used to inform treatment decisions and is designed to be adaptable and regularly revised over time to optimize prediction performance.
