There are many ways to describe this (1). After a few searches on the topic, I tried to come up with a Medline strategy. I think it may include some conditions that Hsu and Chertow would not, but I have this:
1. ((endstage
or “end stage” or established or chronic or progressive) adj1 (renal or kidney)
adj1 (failure or disease* or insufficienc*)).ti,ab
2. (Chronic
adj1 nephropath*).ti,ab
3. (“Chronic
uremia” or “chronic uraemia”).ti,ab
4. (CKD or
CKF or CKI or CRD or CRF or CRI).ti,ab
5. (ESKD or
ESRD or ESRF).ti,ab
6. kidney
diseases/ and chronic.ti,ab
7. exp Renal
insufficiency, chronic/
8. Renal
insufficiency/ AND chronic.ti,ab
9. 1 or 2 or
3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8
This is for Medline via HDAS.
I started with terms I had used previously, and added terms used by colleagues at UHL, MeSH Used For, and terms used in strategies in First Consult, SIGN guideline 103 and NICE CG182. I then asked people on lis-medical, and also had some further suggestions when I circulated the strategy there.
This, for the record, is the version dated 22nd June 2016 with tiny minor amendments made in April 2017 to remove some unnecessary full stops!
