Social Determinants of Health and ESKD among Survivors of Critical Illness and Acute Kidney Injury.
Observational study in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
key pointsDuring follow-up, 326 (1%) critical illness survivors with AKI developed ESKD; 2723 (9%) died. Black race and lack of health insurance were independently associated with higher risk of developing ESKD. Residence in a socioeconomically deprived neighborhood was independently associated with higher risk of ESKD.
backgroundAdverse social determinants of health (SDOHs) are associated with higher risk of AKI. This study evaluated the association of individual- and neighborhood-level SDOHs with incident ESKD among intensive care unit (ICU) survivors of AKI.
methodsThirty thousand four hundred ninety-eight adult ICU survivors of AKI at a major academic medical center between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2022, were included. Individual-level SDOHs (race, ethnicity, and insurance status) were obtained from the hospital electronic health record, whereas neighborhood-level SDOHs (Area Deprivation Index among others) were derived from census-based indices. ESKD was defined by kidney failure with an eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 or the initiation of KRT, including maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation. Association of individual- and neighborhood-level SDOHs with incident ESKD was evaluated using multivariable cause-specific Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for clinical factors.
resultsThe median age was 58 years, 40% were women, 31% were Black, and 12% were uninsured. The median follow-up time was 730 days, during which 326 (1%) patients developed ESKD and 2723 (9%) died. In adjusted models, Black race was associated with a higher hazard of ESKD compared with White race (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05 to 1.94), whereas having health insurance was associated with a lower hazard of ESKD (aHR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.39 to 0.92). Higher neighborhood-level socioeconomic disadvantage was also independently associated with higher risk of ESKD (Area Deprivation Index tertile 2: aHR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.01 to 2.00; tertile 3: aHR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.33).
conclusionsBlack race, lack of health insurance, and residence in socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods were independently associated with a higher hazard of incident ESKD among ICU survivors of AKI. Standardized SDOHs assessment in clinical practice may improve risk stratification of ESKD and identify AKI survivors most likely to benefit from postdischarge interventions.
