The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out waste. (Photo credit: Image Source...

A similar example is the exclusion of a patient based on a trivial lab abnormality like a platelet count of 99 × 109, when the study protocol defines eligibility of platelet count as ≥100 × 109. In general, exclusion criteria with arbitrary and fixed cut-points are problematic. Until ap...
