For the test, a doctor or nurse will take a sample of your blood. Then they’ll send it to a lab to measure the creatinine level in it. To figure out your results, they’ll use a mathematical formula that’s based on the amount they find, along with your age and sex. Some formu...
Participants' HGS was assessed using a CAMRY EH-101 hand dynamometer while VO2max was estimated using a standard formula that includes measurement of resting heart rate. Demographic data was summarized using percentages, mean and standard deviation. Physical activity level of the participants was ...
We determined the sample size for our cohort study using OpenEpi software and the following cohort study sample size formula: (https://www.openepi.com/SampleSize/SSCohort.htm). The sample size was determined in line with the study’s primary objective—to identify the incidence of stage 3–5...
Using fat-free mass (FFM) (P < 0.0001), age (P = 0.025), and HR-ACM(-1) (P = 0.021) as the independent variables, the explained variation in VO2max was 76% (P < 0.0001, SEE = 363 mL-min(-1)). In order to generate a prediction formula that is applic...
(CKD-EPI) formula and adjusted for the Chinese population by multiplying the coefficient 1.1:21eGFRCKD-EPI = 141 × min (SCr/κ,1)α × max (SCr/κ,1)−1.209 × 0.993Age × 1.018 (if female) × 1.1; SCr was serum creatinine, κ was 0.7 for females ...
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated based on the blood samples drawn at the time of admission (median duration from symptom onset to admission: 12 h 18 min, interquartile range [IQR]: 2 h 54 min to 42 h 34 min) using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula, as...
