Frequent relapses, acute kidney injuries and immunosuppressive medications may lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our objective was to determine incidence of kidney failure, CKD, cancer and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic literature search was performed on five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov) for English abstracts and full-text articles from 1970 to 2024. Studies that enrolled children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (steroid-sensitive and -resistant) and reported kidney failure, CKD, cancer or mortality incidence were included. Data abstraction was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Meta-analyses calculated incidence rate (IR) of outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 2785 studies screened, 229 were included (32\u2009712 children). Median follow-up was 5.1 (range 0.3\u201329) years. Among children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, incidence of kidney failure was IR 2.65 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.55\u20134.54)], CKD was IR 3.80 (95% CI 2.38\u20136.07) and mortality was IR 2.30 (95% CI 1.14\u20134.63) per 1000 person-years. Among children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, incidence of kidney failure was IR 33.34 (95% CI 27.05\u201341.11), CKD was IR 46.90 (95% CI 39.31\u201355.96) and mortality was IR 12.52 (95% CI 8.21\u201319.09) per 1000 person-years. The most common causes of death were kidney failure and infections. The incidence of CKD and death decreased over time among children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Cancer occurred in only 16 children in 13 studies (899 children). Many studies were at moderate-to-high risk of bias and used variable surveillance strategies and outcome definitions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Incidence of kidney failure, CKD and death are &amp;lt;4 per 1000 person-years among children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome.
