steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS)

- Monitoring and evaluating the impact of the guideline.

The following are three performance measures or indicators for implementing this adapted CPG for steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome in children:

1.     Adherence to steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome Guidelines

·       Numerator: Number of children with steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome who received treatment as per guideline recommendations.

·       Denominator: Total number of children diagnosed with steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome

·       Data Source: Hospital or clinic patient records.

2.     Duration of Hospital Stay

·       Numerator: Total number of hospital stay days for children with steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome

·       Denominator: Total number of children admitted with steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome Data Source: Hospital admission and discharge records.

3.     Rate of Readmission

·       Numerator: Number of children readmitted with symptoms of steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome within a certain period (e.g., 30 days) after discharge.

·       Denominator: Total number of children initially admitted with steroid‑resistant nephrotic syndrome

·       Data Source: Hospital readmission records.

These key performance indicators are designed to measure the effectiveness and adherence to the guidelines, the efficiency of the treatment in terms of resource utilization (hospital stay), and the success of the treatment in preventing further complications (readmissions).
