Number of Indigenous regular clients aged 18 and over with:

• type 2 diabetes
• cardiovascular disease (CVD)
• type 2 diabetes AND/OR CVD

who had:

• both an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) AND an albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) test result recorded
• only an eGFR test result recorded
• only an ACR test result recorded
• neither an eGFR NOR an ACR test result recorded

within the previous 12 months.

Presented as a number.

Calculated separately for the specified chronic disease and test recorded categories.

Type 2 diabetes AND/OR CVD includes clients with:

• type 2 diabetes only
• CVD only
• type 2 diabetes and CVD.

Count clients with either or both of these conditions once only. For example, count a client with both type 2 diabetes and CVD once, not twice.

Test result recorded: to count a test as recorded, a valid test result must be entered in the test result field of the Clinical Information System (CIS). A valid test result is a numeric value that can be used to classify test results into the risk categories specified in the relevant national guidelines (see Kidney Health Australia 2020 for risk categories; see also PI19). Negative, non-numerical and null values are not considered to be valid results (that is, are invalid). Records with an invalid result recorded should be assigned to either the ‘only an eGFR test result recorded’, ‘only an ACR test result recorded’ or ‘neither an eGFR nor an ACR test result recorded’ as appropriate. It is acknowledged that inclusion of only valid test results may undercount the number of tests that were conducted, for example, because of known issues with pathology recording and uploading.

Test result recorded categories consist of:

• Both an eGFR AND an ACR test result recorded: a valid eGFR result recorded AND a valid ACR result recorded.
• Only an eGFR test result recorded: a valid eGFR result recorded AND a valid ACR result not recorded.
• Only an ACR test result recorded:  a valid ACR result recorded AND a valid eGFR result not recorded.
• Neither an eGFR nor an ACR test result recorded: a valid eGFR result not recorded AND a valid ACR not recorded.

Numerator only.
