Survey of North American Pediatric Endocrinologists on Diabetic Kidney Disease Screening

115 pediatric endocrinologists from Canada and the USA with a mean 12.4 years in practice completed an anonymous survey. The survey assessed diabetic kidney disease screening practices, comfort with interpreting estimated glomerular filtration rate, and barriers to guideline implementation. The data was published on figshare in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze screening practice adherence based on survey responses about test frequency and types.
• Model barriers to guideline implementation based on reported comfort levels with eGFR interpretation.
• Identify facilitators for clinical tool adoption based on preferences for automated EMR reporting.
• Compare practice patterns based on respondent characteristics like years in practice and care setting.

Strengths

• Survey includes responses from 115 practicing pediatric endocrinologists.
• Provides specific respondent demographics, including mean 12.4 years in practice and a breakdown of 40 Canadian and 75 US respondents.
• Results detail concrete barriers and facilitators, such as the association of EMR prompts with adherence.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to the survey's distribution to North American tertiary care centers.
