Over 2006\u20132011, all patients with a CKD diagnosis, either through CKD-related indications of use associated with drug prescriptions or through CKD-related hospital discharge diagnoses\/procedures, were identified using this database. The prevalence of \u201cmedicalized\u201d CKD in the general population of Caserta was estimated by age, gender, and calendar year.<jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic>Overall, 1,989 (1.3%) patients with a diagnosis of CKD were identified from 2006\u20132011 in the Caserta general population. The one year prevalence increased from 0.9% in 2006 to 1.6% in 2011, which is much lower compared to previous screening-based studies. The prevalence was slightly higher in males and increased significantly with advancing age (in 2011, 0.2% in \u226444 years old versus 9.2% in &gt;80 years old).<jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic>The findings of this study suggest that, in the general population, the prevalence of \u201cmedicalized\u201d CKD is lower compared to the screening-based
