Objectives
Narrative objectives1
HIF-PH inhibitors are administered orally, whereas erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) require subcutaneous injection. These differences may affect outpatient clinical workflow, as well as outpatient visit frequency, outpatient visit duration, and drug-related costs. This retrospective observational study aims to compare outpatient visit frequency, outpatient visit duration, and drug-related costs between patients receiving HIF-PH inhibitors and those receiving ESAs among patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Basic objectives -Others
The aim of this retrospective observational study is to describe and compare outpatient treatment practices, and not to evaluate the efficacy, safety, or superiority of the medications.

Other related information
This is a single-center retrospective observational study using electronic medical records (EMRs). Patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) who received or were prescribed erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) or HIF-PH inhibitors will be included. The primary outcomes are outpatient visit frequency, outpatient visit duration, and drug-related costs based on drug prices, which will be compared between groups. Secondary analyses will include visit intervals stratified by renal function, visit intervals and hemoglobin values outside the target range during the initiation phase, and the proportion of patients with long visit intervals. Analyses will be primarily based on descriptive comparisons.
