Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Key Points Disasters cause significant human suffering, and patients with kidney diseases are uniquely vulnerable. Background Natural, technological, and other disasters cause significant human suffering, and kidney patients are uniquely vulnerable. Robust disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) can mitigate risks associated with resource disruption. Results Of 3973 titles and abstracts screened, 52 articles were included.
