Nationwide attribute-based cross-classification reveals distinct risk patterns of major complications in ADPKD.
Plain language
Sifting records of 12,466 ADPKD patients, researchers mapped which complications cluster together: liver cysts in 86%, kidney pain in 30%, aneurysms in 18.5% — with different patterns by sex, age and blood pressure. A step toward screening the right people, not everyone equally.
Clinical note
Nationwide registry analysis (2015–2021, n=12,466) with multivariable modeling; aneurysms reached 25.3% in women aged 50 and over. Observational and retrospective — supports risk-stratified screening conversations, not new thresholds.
