Journal Club: "Despite National Declines In Kidney Failure Incidence, Disparities Widened Between Low- And High-Poverty Counties" by Kevin Nguyen of Brown University School of Public Health
The centerpiece of the December Health Affairs Journal Club meeting is, "Despite National Declines In Kidney Failure Incidence, Disparities Widened Between Low- And
High-Poverty Counties."
In the paper, which was published in the December 2021 issue of the journal, the authors examine trends in the incidence of kidney failure by county-level poverty among US adults between 2000 and 2017. While national estimates suggest that overall rates are declining, they found there is marked disparity in incidence of kidney failure between low- and high-poverty counties.
