Performance of the Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD, and new CKD-EPI formulas in relation to GFR, age, and body size. (2010, background): “The relatively small number of patients in the subgroups in our study as well as in some of the aforementioned studies (7,19) could be an explanation for this difference; however, studying the accuracies over the subgroups, all formulas showed a pattern in which the accuracies became smaller per GFR”
A New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate (2009, background): “Sixteen other studies (6 research studies and 10 clinical populations) with a total of 3,896 participants were used for external validation (Appendix Table 2).(13, 16-28)”
Factors Other than GFR Affecting Serum Cystatin C Levels (2008, neutral): “These data are part of the dataset presented in Froissart et al.(26) To convert GFR from ml/min per 1.”
Using Standardized Serum Creatinine Values in the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (2006, positive): “A few studies have also shown in particular that the age correction in the Cockcroft–Gault equation is too steep (18, 42, 43).”
