Background

MONDO initiative is an academic-industry partnership where providers contribute anonymized data to a shared research dataset. We characterized etiology of kidney failure (KF) from the MONDO 2019 cohort from 41 countries over 20 years.

Methods

Nine institutions contributed longitudinal data to MONDO 2019 (Jan2000-Dec2019). Data anonymization was performed in alignment with recommendations from a re-identification risk determination (Privacy Analytics, Ontario, CA).

Results

MONDO 2019 represents 289,531 patients, of which 170,910 (59.0%) had a known etiology for KF (Figure 1). Worldwide, diabetes (DM) was the leading cause of KF (15.8%), followed by hypertensive diseases (HTD, 14.0%) and glomerular diseases (GD,13.9%). Although DM was the leading cause of KF in North America (NA, 35.1%) and Asia-Pacific (AP, 24.2%), GD was the most common cause of KF in Europe-Middle East-Africa (EMEA, 14.9%) and South America (SA, 16.5%). DM was the second leading cause of KF in EMEA (13.4%) and the third leading cause of KF in SA (12.7%). Other regional differences were observed and included HTD being a more common cause of KF in NA (25.3%) and AP (19.4%) than in SA (14.9%) and EMEA (10.6%).

Conclusion

MONDO 2019 dataset shows that the etiology of KF may vary among world regions and warrants further confirmatory investigations, particularly for glomerular disorders associated with DM. These observations are consistent with findings from registries in US and Europe (Stel VS, et al., NDT 2024).
