Hamby T, et al. - This study was attempted to assess the timeline and predictors of time to referral for those referred to nephrology for elevated blood pressure (EBP). Researchers conducted a retrospective study on individuals, aged 3–18 years, referred to a nephrology clinic for EBP over a 3-year period. Researchers excluded individuals whether they were referred previously, were referred for other conditions, or did not have ≥ 1 prior visit with EBP. Analyses were conducted to ascertain if gender, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and obesity predicted number of prior visits with EBP and time to referral. A total of 120 individuals were recruited (64% male; 53% obese) and 82 (68%) had ≥ 3 prior visits with EBP ≥ 95%. This study's findings suggest that patients with EBP were generally not referred to nephrology promptly, which was particularly true for obese individuals. Future study is required to determine interventions to improve time to referral for EBP.
