Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major
threat to public health, especially in low-income and lower
middle-income countries, where resources for treating
patients with advanced CKD are scarce. Although early
CKD identification and intervention hold promise for
reducing the burden of CKD and risk factors, it remains
unclear if an uniform strategy can be applicable across
all income groups. The aim of this scoping review is to
synthesise available evidence on early CKD identification
programmes in all world regions and income groups. The
study will also identify efforts that have been made to use
interventions and implementation of early identification
programmes for CKD across countries and income groups.
Methods and analysis This review will be guided by the
methodological framework for conducting scoping studies
developed by Arksey and O’Malley. Empirical (Medline,
Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ISI Web of Science and
PsycINFO) and grey literature references will be searched
to identify studies on CKD screening, early identification
and interventions across all populations. Two reviewers
will independently screen references in consecutive stages
of title/abstract screening and then full-text screening. We
will use a general descriptive overview, tabular summaries
and content analysis on extracted data.
Ethics and dissemination The findings from our planned
scoping review will enable us to identify items in early
identification programmes that can be used in developing
screening toolkits for CKD. We will disseminate our
findings using traditional approaches that include open access peer-reviewed publication, scientific presentations
and a white paper (call to action) report. Ethical approval
will not be required for this scoping review as the data will
be extracted from already published studies
