Implementation pRogram to Improve Screening and Management for CKD in Diabetes (IRIS-CKD)

IRIS-CKD is an implementation study to improve guideline-recommended screening of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the United States.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

IRIS-CKD Screening Program: will focus on CKD screening in T2D. We will identify patients with T2D that have not received appropriate screening for CKD within the last 15 months and randomize patients to receive either a home kit to complete CKD screening ("home kit") versus a standard laboratory order ("laboratory order"). The primary objective is to evaluate whether delivery of home testing kits versus standard laboratory testing influences the degree to which patients receive guideline-recommended CKD screening. Patients will complete approximately 3 months of follow-up.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: (IRIS-CKD Screening Program): Home Kit
Home Kit: a kit delivered to participants home with instructions to complete eGFR (fingerstick) and/or UACR (urine sample) testing, depending on which lab(s) are missing at baseline.

All participants approached for enrollment in Program 1 will receive National Kidney Foundational educational materials related to CKD screening in type 2 diabetes and study information. All enrolled participants will receive a message regarding study lab(s) results.

Active Comparator: (IRIS-CKD Screening Program): Standard Lab Testing
Standard Laboratory Testing: a traditional order will be placed into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) for eGFR and/or UACR testing, depending on which lab(s) are missing at baseline.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CKD Screening Lab Opportunity Score
Time Frame: 3 months

Opportunity score of completion of missing guideline-recommended screening for CKD (eGFR and/or UACR) at 3 months.

The opportunity score will be calculated as the ratio of the number of missing labs measured by month 3 divided by the number of missing labs at baseline.

3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CKD Screening Lab Opportunity Score by Subgroup
Time Frame: 3 months
Opportunity score across subgroups by missing baseline screening labs: UACR only, eGFR only, or both.
3 months
