Kidney Disease Aging Research Collaborative Research Resources
The Kidney Disease Aging Research Collaborative (KDARC) is pleased to share two resources for researchers interested in geriatric nephrology.
Geriatric Nephrology Longitudinal Cohort Study Crosswalk
To encourage research in geriatric nephrology, we created a dataset harmonization table, available to any researcher on request, that provides a crosswalk for longitudinal datasets, including both kidney disease and aging measures. The crosswalk includes extracted information about each dataset, enabling researchers to quickly identify datasets that can help answer key questions in the field. A team of geriatric nephrology researchers collected and compiled the information using publicly available sources, including dataset websites and publications. It is a living document, and updated information is added as it becomes available. If you discover any missing information or information requiring updates, please email Megan.Huisingh-Scheetz@BSD.UChicago.edu.

KDARC Aging Measure Toolbox for CKD and ESRD Studies
To encourage research in geriatric nephrology, we created an aging measure toolbox to compile information on frailty tools previously applied and studied in CKD or end- stage renal disease (ESRD) human populations. The toolbox, available to any researcher on request, includes a tool description, information sources, administration details such as needed supplies and equipment, scoring information, validation studies in CKD or ESRD populations (if available), limitations, language availability, and minimally clinically important differences (if available). This information enables researchers to compare frailty tools and quickly identify those that are most appropriate for their studies. A team of geriatric nephrology researchers collected and compiled the information using publicly available sources and literature. It is a living document and updated information is added as it becomes available. If users discover any missing information or information requiring updates, please contact Megan.Huisingh-Scheetz@BSD.UChicago.edu.
