Improving outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition characterised by the gradual loss of kidney function, is a major global health problem. CKD affects approximately 1 in 10 adults. This project is using a ground-breaking Privacy Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) technique developed by Curtin University researchers to create a linked data resource of pathology and secondary healthcare data.
