Chart Explanation: The chart shows on the y-axis (vertical line) the percentage of patients, and the x-axis (horizontal line) shows the age groups by year, gender, and race.
The Clinformatics Medicare Advantage dataset provides paid medical and prescription claims and enrollment information for participants in Medicare Advantage plans of a large U.S. managed care health insurance company. 

CKD is defined using ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, and ESRD is based on ICD diagnosis, CPT procedure, and DRG codes in the Clinformatics Medicare Advantage.

Analytical ConsiderationsIn published literature, CKD is diagnosed by ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM codes in alternate ways (one outpatient, two or more outpatient or one inpatient claim). Care must be taken in comparisons.
