Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

This is a no-profit, retrospective observational study involving real-world data (RWD), retrieved from ADPKD-related electronic health records stored at Mario Negri Institute IRCCS. RWD will be used to generate simulated and synthetic datasets, using AI tools. RWD and generated data (GD) will be used to conduct three virtual RCTs, which main outcome is change in Total Kidney Volume (TKV). Statistical tests will be performed to assess quality and privacy preservation of GD compared with RWD. GD will be also evaluated in exploratory sample size estimations.
