Baseline characteristics and associated factors for hypertension in children with chronic kidney disease: results from the Korean Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients with Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHypertension is one of the most important complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as it exacerbates disease progression in children. The aim of this study is to identify characteristics and factors associated with hypertension in children with CKD.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study using baseline data from the 10-year ongoing cohort study named KNOW-PedCKD (Korean Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients with Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease). We enrolled finally 378 patients aged <18 years at seven major pediatric nephrology centers in Republic of Korea. Blood pressure was measured and samples and clinical data were collected during the patients' annual hospital visits.
resultsWe found that 30.7% of the patients had hypertension (n = 116); specifically, 16.4% (n = 62) had systolic hypertension, and 22.8% (n = 86) had diastolic hypertension. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; p < 0.001), female sex (OR, 2.32; p = 0.002), a high left ventricular mass index (OR, 1.05; p < 0.001), and a high urine protein/creatinine ratio (OR, 1.12; p = 0.02) were significant associated factors for systolic or diastolic hypertension.
conclusionThis study analyzed the associated factors for hypertension in children with CKD. Hypertension is associated with various factors, including age, sex, heart status, and proteinuria. Therefore, clinicians should consider these factors during patient evaluations to improve health outcomes.
