The Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements Project

The Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements (SCREAM) Project

The Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements (SCREAM) project is a healthcare utilization cohort including, at present, all adult residents in Stockholm between 2006 and 2021. The region of Stockholm had a population of 2.3 million citizens in 2021and provides universal healthcare with a single unified health-system. Administrative databases with complete information on socidemographic data, healthcare use, diagnoses and therapeutic/surgical procedures, and vital status were enriched with performed laboratory tests, dispensed prescriptions at Swedish pharmacies and validated kidney replacement therapy endpoints. Registries were linked and de-identified by the Swedish National Board of Welfare and are considered to have no or minimal loss to follow-up. Because the study utilized de-identified data, it was deemed not to require informed consent and was approved by the regional ethical review boards and the Swedish National Board of Welfare.
