Multinational assessment of accuracy of equations for predicting risk of kidney failure: a meta-analysis

N Tangri, ME Grams, AS Levey, J Coresh, LJ Appel… - Jama, 2016 - jamanetwork.com
Importance Identifying patients at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression may
facilitate more optimal nephrology care. Kidney failure risk equations, including such factors
as age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and calcium and phosphate concentrations,
were previously developed and validated in 2 Canadian cohorts. Validation in other regions
and in CKD populations not under the care of a nephrologist is needed. Objective To
evaluate the accuracy of the risk equations across different geographic regions and patient …
