Whether these sex disparities extend to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well known. The primary goal of this study was to compare hospitalisation rates between men and women in the Irish health system and study the association of kidney function with hospitalization rates. METHOD We constructed a cohort of 125 890 patients from the National Kidney Disease Surveillance System (NKDSS) to compare hospitalization rates between men and women. Patients were recruited from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2010 and followed until 31 December 2013.
