Risk factors for chronic glomerulonephritis in children

Resume. This retrospective study examined potential risk factors associated with the development of chronic glomerulonephritis in children. The authors report that several risk factors frequently occurred together and identify five combinations of risk factors among children with different clinical forms of glomerulonephritis. A Wald-based table for estimating the risk of disease chronicity was also developed. The sample size and several results require verification against the original dataset before publication. Keywords: children; chronic glomerulonephritis; risk factors; disease progression; risk prediction.
