Comparative Performance of the ANCLA Risk Score and Established Prognostic Models for Predicting ESKD in ANCA-Associated Glomerulonephritis: A Latin American Cohort

Background

Prognostic tools for kidney outcomes in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) were developed mainly in European and North American populations, and their performance in Hispanic populations remains less well characterized. ANCA in Latin America (ANCLA) was previously developed and internally validated in a Colombian cohort to predict end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
