| Abstract |
Limited health literacy has been associated with adverse outcomes in children. We evaluated this association in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We assessed the parental health literacy of 367 children enrolled in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) Study, using the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy (STOFHLA). We evaluated the association between parental health literacy and CKD progression, defined as time to the composite event of renal replacement therapy (RRT, dialysis, or kidney transplant) or 50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Median CKiD participant age was 9.5 years, 63% were male, and 59% non-Hispanic white. Median eGFR at baseline was 63 ml/min/1.73 m2, and median urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was 0.22. The median STOFHLA score was 98. Over a median follow-up of 3.7 years, the overall CKD progression rate was 2.8 per 100 person-years. After adjustment for demographic and clinical factors, the relative time to CKD progression was 28% longer per 1 SD increase in STOFHLA score (relative time, 95% CI, 1.28, 1.06-1.53). In this cohort of children with CKD, higher parental health literacy was associated with a nearly 30% longer time to the composite CKD progression outcome. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 September 2019.
All research outputs
#4,132,308
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#603
of 3,671 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,524
of 329,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#18
of 63 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,671 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 63 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
