CKD.QLD is a state-wide collaborative multidisciplinary research and practice program that was established in 2011 [15]. It involves a CKD registry of all consented patients in the public health system in the state of Queensland, Australia. We included patients enrolled in the CKD.QLD registry from Metro North Hospital and Health Service in Brisbane, Australia. The database captures extensive information on date of birth, gender, medical background, and primary diagnosis for renal disease. Serum uric acid levels on entry were extracted from the state-wide public pathology provider, “Pathology Queensland”, whilst information on the diagnosis of gout and allopurinol prescription was obtained from the integrated medical records.
