Abstract
Introduction
Congenital anomaly of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) is one of the most common congenital anomalies, occurring in over 1 % of live births and accounting for 40–50 % of chronic kidney failure cases in children. The prevalence of CAKUT was multifaceted and varies widely. This study aimed to report the latest evidence of incidence, trends, and risk factors associated with the incidence of CAKUT.
Evidence acquisition
We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Proquest databases. The included studies were then assessed using Newcastle-Ottawa (NOS) risk of bias tools. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager version 5.4.1 software and presented as pooled incidence and Odds Ratio (OR) with a 95 % confidence interval.
Evidence synthesis
Eight studies in total were included from 2004 to 2022 (12.838 infants of all ages). NOS risk of bias tools indicated all studies had low risk of bias. The overall pooled incidence of CAKUT was 13,6 per 1000 births (95 % CI: 4 to 45,7 per 1000 births) in all infants and 4,9 per 1000 births (95 % CI: 1,1 to 21,3 per 1000 births) in term infants without congenital anomalies, with an increasing trend over the years. Factors, such as sex (boys) (OR = 1,53; 95 % CI 1,26-1,86), prematurity (OR = 1,46; 95 % CI 1,27-1,67), low birth weight (OR = 1,28; 95 % CI 1,10-1,48), maternal diabetes (OR = 1,81; 95 % CI 1,43-2,28), maternal obesity (OR = 1,45; 95 % CI 1,23-1,70), and maternal age (>40 years) were also found to be risk factors of CAKUT incidence. Furthermore, one study reported race (black people [OR = 0,89; 95 % CI 0,87-0,91] and Hispanics [OR = 1,22; 95 % CI 1,18-1,25]) to be a risk factor of CAKUT.
Conclusions
The incidence of CAKUT was high and showed an increasing trend over the years. Several risk factors, such as sex, prematurity, low birth weight, maternal diabetes, maternal obesity, maternal age and race were also found to be associated with CAKUT incidence. These findings should increase awareness regarding CAKUT incidence in at-risk populations.
期刊介绍:
Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival.
The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas:
Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
