Mobile applications have been used as tools to assist in improving patient self-management, but their effectiveness in long-term outpatient follow-up management of patients with CKD remains to be validated. This study aimed to investigate whether using a mobile application combined with traditional outpatient follow-up can improve health outcomes of patients with CKD .<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study recruited CKD patients with stage 1\u20135 who were not receiving renal replacement therapy from a CKD management center. Two groups were established: the APP\u2009+\u2009outpatient follow-up group and the traditional outpatient follow-up group. Baseline data was collected from January 2015 to December 2019, followed by a three-year long-term follow-up until December 2022. Laboratory data, all-cause mortality, and renal replacement treatment were then collected and compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      5326 patients were included in the study, including 2492 in the APP\u2009+\u2009outpatient group and 2834 in the traditional outpatient group. After IPTW virtualization matching, the final matched the APP\u2009+\u2009outpatient group consisted of 2489 cases (IQR, 33\u201355) and 2850 (IQR, 33\u201355) in the traditional outpatient group. By the end of the study, it was observed that the laboratory data of Phosphorus, Sodium, Triglyceride, Hemoglobin showed significant improvements, Furthermore the APP\u2009+\u2009outpatient group demonstrated superior results compared to the traditional outpatient group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.05). And it was observed that there were 34 deaths (1.4%) in the APP\u2009+\u2009outpatient group and 46 deaths (1.6%) in the traditional outpatient group(\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.49).

However, it was noted that the traditional outpatient group had a lower incidence of using temporary catheters during initial hemodialysis (95% CI [8.4-29.8%],\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The development and application of an app combined with outpatient follow-up management can improve patient health outcomes.
