This meta-analysis aims to fill this gap.MethodsA systematic literature review was performed using Medline and EMBASE to identify observational studies on associations between SES and incidence and progression of CKD, published between 1974 and March 2017. Individual results were meta-analysed using a random effects model, in line with Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines.ResultsIn total, 43 articles met our inclusion criteria.
