Recently, the first estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) formula specifically developed for community-dwelling older adults, the Berlin Initiative Study Equation 2 (BIS2), was reported. To date, however, no study has examined the performance of the BIS2 to predict death in older adults as...
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated with the CKD epidemiology collaboration formula. BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and urine output were measured synchronously. Medication history, including the use of antihypertensive agents, hypoglycemic ...
According to the suggestion of CDC in NHANES website, we employed a homologous regression equation to convert serum 25 (OH)D concentrations from 2001 to 2006 to facilitate subsequent analysis. The conversion formula of serum vitamin D concentration in NHANES 2001–2006 is as follows: 2001–2002:...
The CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation was employed to estimate calculated eGFR23. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or albuminuria ≥ 30 mg/g, or both24. Statistical analysis Due to the complex sampling design of NHANES, ...

As the kidney function has major influence on electrolyte levels, admission creatinine levels were used to calculate an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Therefore, the recommended CKD-EPI-formula was used to calculate eGFR8. In accordance to the WHO classification of renal function impairm...
41 Triglycerides and glucose index was calculated based on the following formula: [ln(fasting triglycerides) × (fasting glucose) / 2].42 Estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated with calibrated creatinine values using the equation from the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology ...
(n = 1775) specifically enrolling only patients who were hemodynamically stable with objective assessments of RV function, thrombolysis was associated with lower mortality (OR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.25-0.92; 1.39% [12/866] vs 2.92% [26/889]) (Figure 3) and greater major bleeding rate (OR...
AKI has a death rate as high as 20%, which may reach up to 50% in the intensive care unit (ICU)3, 4. Each year, around two million people die of AKI worldwide5. AKI is not only a medical problem, but also has become a major public health concern. Referring to different ...
the size of the provincial population as an exposure variable. This is a pivotal point, because it allows to standardize the cumulative confirmed cases and excess deaths, that is, convert each observation from a count variable into a rate. As result, I estimate the following basic equation: ...
