What is the PICODD criteria?
The PICODD criteria stands for Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, study Design and Duration of follow-up. It is a set of criteria used to formulate questions of interest related to the use of lipid-lowering agents in adults and children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney transplant recipients, and CKD subgroups in large studies of the general population. The intervention typically includes a Z1 lipid-lowering agent, such as a statin, niacin, colestipol, or cholestyramine, but excludes dietary supplements, phosphate binders, apheresis, stanols, and sterols.
