Abstract
OBJECTIVES The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) developed two novel equations in 2023 for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR): one sex-free cystatin C-based equation (EKFCCys) and one creatinine-cystatin C combined equation (EKFCCr-Cys). This study compared their performance with the previous creatinine-based EKFC equation (EKFCCr) and commonly used Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) equations in Chinese adults. METHODS A total of 2,438 Chinese adults (mean age=53.04 years) who underwent the 99mTc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging for reference GFR (rGFR) were included. Diagnostic value was evaluated using correlation coefficients, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROCAUC). Performance was assessed in terms of bias, precision (interquartile range of the median difference [IQR]), accuracy (percentage of estimates ±30 % of rGFR [P30], and root-mean-square error [RMSE]) across age, sex, and rGFR subgroups. Gender differences in bias and P30 were also analyzed. RESULTS Average rGFR was 73.37 mL/min/1.73 m2. EKFC equations showed stronger correlations and larger AUCs compared to the parallel CKD-EPI equations, with EKFCCr-Cys demonstrating the greatest improvement (R=0.771, ROCAUC=0.913). Concerning bias, precision, and accuracy, EKFC equations consistently outperformed CKD-EPI equations. EKFCCr-Cys and EKFCCr performed acceptably well in the entire population and were equivalent to BIS equations in the elderly. All equations, including EKFCCys, showed similar P30 accuracy across sexes. CONCLUSIONS EKFC equations provided a reasonable alternative for estimating GFR in the Chinese adult population. While EKFCCys did not outperform EKFCCr, EKFCCr-Cys improved the accuracy of single-marker equations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The utilization of creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations in the adult population is acknowledged. Nevertheless, the appropriateness of creatinine-based eGFR in septuagenarians and octogenarians is debatable. This study evaluates the creatinine-based equations in Chinese septuagenarians and octogenarians cohorts. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study employed a retrospective design, utilizing a review of the hospital medical records system to identify 347 hospitalized participants within the Division of Geriatrics or the Division of Nephrology. These participants underwent renal dynamic imaging with 99 m Tc-DTPA and serum creatinine testing. Comparison of the equations was performed, including the full age-spectrum equation (FAS-Cr equation), European Kidney Function Consortium equation (EKFC equation), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation for Asian (Asian CKD-EPI equation), Xiangya equation, and Lund-Malmö revised equation (LMR equation). RESULTS Most equations tended to underestimate GFR. The FAS-Cr equation had the smallest interquartile range (IQR), while the Asian CKD-EPI equation (mGFR ≥ 30) and Xiangya equation (mGFR < 30) had the biggest IQRs. The FAS-Cr equation had the highest overall P30 of 63.98%, while the Asian CKD-EPI equation had the highest P30 of 75.64% in mGFR ≥ 60. The Xiangya equation, on the other hand, reported the lowest P30 of 36.36% in mGFR < 30. We discovered similar patterns in root-mean-square error (RMSE) as P30. GFR category misclassification rates in the entire cohort ranged from 46.11 to 49.86% for all equations. The FAS-Cr equation exhibited an advantage in octogenarians over other equations in the GFR category misclassification with mGFR lower than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. CONCLUSION None of the creatinine-based equations in this study could perform well regarding precision, accuracy, and CKD stages' classification for the Chinese elderly. Nevertheless, the FAS-Cr equation should be suitable for octogenarians with mGFR lower than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the performances of the various estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration, the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS), and the Full Age Spectrum (FAS) in older Chinese. METHODS This study enrolled Chinese adults aged ≥ 65 years who underwent GFR measurements (via 99Tcm-DTPA renal dynamic imaging) in our hospital from 2011 to 2022. Using the measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) as the reference, we derived the bias, precision, accuracy, and consistency of each equation. RESULTS We enrolled 519 participants, comprising 155 with mGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 364 with mGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. In the total patients, the BIS equation based on creatinine and cystatin C (BIScr-cys) exhibited the lowest bias [median (95% confidence interval): 1.61 (0.77-2.18)], highest precision [interquartile range 11.82 (10.32-13.70)], highest accuracy (P30: 81.12%), and best consistency (95% limit of agreement: 101.5 mL/min/1.73 m2). In the mGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 subgroup, the BIScr-cys and FAS equation based on creatinine and cystatin C (FAScr-cys) performed better than the other equations; in the mGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 subgroup, all equations exhibited relatively large deviations from the mGFR. Of all eight equations, the BIScr-cys performed the best. CONCLUSIONS Although no equation was fully accurate in the mGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 subgroup, the BIScr-cys (of the eight equations) assessed the eGFRs of the entire population best. A new equation is urgently required for older Chinese and even East Asians, especially those with moderate-to-severe renal insufficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Debates persist regarding the performance of existing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations in older individuals. We performed this meta-analysis to assess the accuracy and bias of six commonly used equations, including the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (CKD-EPICr) and its combination with cystatin C (CKD-EPICr-Cys), with the corresponding pair of the Berlin Initiative Study equations (BIS1 and BIS2) and the Full Age Spectrum equations (FASCr and FASCr-Cys). METHODS PubMed and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies comparing estimated GFR (eGFR) with measured GFR (mGFR). We analyzed the difference in P30 and bias among the six equations and investigated subgroups based on the area (Asian and non-Asian), mean age (60-74 years and ≥75 years), and levels of mean mGFR (<45 mL/min/1.73m2 and ≥45 mL/min/1.73m2). RESULTS 27 studies with 18,112 participants were included, all reporting P30 and bias. BIS1 and FASCr exhibited significantly higher P30 than CKD-EPICr. While no significant differences were observed between FASCr and BIS1, or among the three combined equations in terms of either P30 or bias. Subgroup analyses revealed FASCr and FASCr-Cys achieved better results in most situations. However, in the subgroup of mGFR<45 mL/min/1.73m2, CKD-EPICr-Cys had relatively higher P30 and significantly smaller bias. CONCLUSIONS Overall, BIS and FAS provided relatively more accurate estimates of GFR than CKD-EPI in older adults. FASCr and FASCr-Cys may be better suited for various conditions, while CKD-EPICr-Cys would be a better option for older individuals with impaired renal function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to further evaluate the accuracy of eleven GFR equations in different subgroups of an elderly Chinese hospitalized population. METHODS All participants of the study were divided into seven separate groups including age-subgroup, sex-subgroup, GFR Staging-subgroup and whether combined with diabetic, hypertensive, coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular disease. Referring to Tc-99m-DTPA dual plasma sample clearance method, six serum creatinine (Cr)-based [Cockcroft-Gault (CG), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPICr), Lund-Malmö Revised (LMR), Berlin Initiative Study (BIS1), Full Age Spectrum (FASCr) and European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC)], two serum cystatin C(Cys)-based (CKD-EPICys and FASCys), and three Cr-Cys combination based (CKD-EPICr-Cys, BIS2 and FASCr-Cys) equations were employed. Bias, interquartile range of the median difference (IQR), P30, and GFR misclassification rate were calculated to compare the performance of the selected equations. RESULTS A total of 359 elderly Chinese patients were enrolled. Overall, median mGFR was 36.91(25.26,56.32)ml/min/1.73 m2. Smaller biases (ml/min/1.73 m2) were shown in CKD-EPICr and BIS1 equations (0.75 and 0.61). IQR (ml/min/1.73m2) was least with BIS2 equation and FASCr-Cys equation (10.34 and 10.65). For accuracy (P30), performance of FASCr-Cys, BIS2, and BIS1 equation was superior (78.3%, 78.0%, and 74.7%, respectively). In terms of RMSE (ml/min/1.73 m2), BIS1 and FASCr-Cys equation performed better (12.44 and 12.51). CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study showed that the eGFR equations were less accurate in the diabetic and non-hypertension group than in the non-diabetic and hypertension group, respectively. Among all enrolled equations, the BIS2 and FASCr-Cys equations might be the best choice to evaluate glomerular filtration rate in Chinese elderly patients.

Front Public Health 2022; 10:952899. [PMID: 36033773 PMCID: PMC9399614 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.952899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations are based on creatinine alone (CKD-EPIcr), cystatin C alone (CKD-EPIcys) and combined creatinine and cystatin C (CKD-EPIcr-cys). It remains unclear whether these equations perform differently in older adults with type 2 diabetes than they do in non-diabetic older individuals. Methods This single-center cross-sectional study was performed in adults aged ≥ 65 years between January 2019 and December 2021. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured by technetium-99m-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) renal dynamic imaging. The bias (difference between measured and estimated GFR), precision [interquartile range (IQR) of the median difference between measured GFR and estimated GFR] and accuracy P30 (percentage of estimated GFR within 30% of measured GFR) were considered the criteria of equation performance. Results Finally, 476 participants were enrolled, including 243 adults with type 2 diabetes and 233 non-diabetic adults. The mean age of the included participants was 71.69 ± 6.4 years and 262 (55%) were male. The mean measured GFR was 49.02 ± 22.45 ml/min/1.73 m2. The CKD-EPIcr-cys equation showed significantly greater bias and lower accuracy (P30) in individuals with diabetes than in the non-diabetic group (median bias, 4.08 vs. 0.41 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively, p < 0.05; P30, 63.78% vs. 78.54%, respectively, p < 0.05). The precision IQR indicated that CKD-EPIcr-cys had also lower precision in individuals with diabetes than in the non-diabetic controls (17.27 vs. 15.49 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively). Similar results were observed for CKD-EPIcr and CKD-EPIcys equations. The P30 of all three equations failed to reach 80% in diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Conclusions The performance of the CKD-EPI equations was lower in a group of patients aged ≥ 65 years with type 2 diabetes than in non-diabetic counterparts. However, each equation still had limitations regarding accuracy in older adults with or without diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accuracy of the estimated glomerular filter rate (eGFR) in elderly patients is debatable. In 2020, a new creatinine-based equation by European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) was applied to all age groups. The objective of this study was to assess the appropriateness of the new EKFC equation with Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), Lund-Malmö Revised (LMR), Berlin Initiative Study 1 (BIS1), and full age spectrum (FAS) equations based on serum creatinine (SCR) for elderly Chinese patients. METHODS A total of 612 elderly patients with a measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) by the dual plasma sample clearance method with Technetium-99 m-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (Tc-99 m-DTPA) were divided into four subgroups based on age, sex, mGFR, and whether combined with diabetes. The performance of GFR was assessed while considering bias, precision, accuracy, and root-mean-square error (RMSE). Bland-Altman plots, concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs), and correlation coefficients were applied to evaluate the validity of eGFR. RESULTS The median age of the 612 participants was 73 years, and 386 (63.1%) were male. Referring to mGFR (42.1 ml/min/1.73 m2), the CKD-EPI, LMR, BIS1, FAS, and EKFC equations estimated GFR at 44.4, 41.1, 43.6, 41.8 and 41.9 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Overall, the smallest bias was found for the BIS1 equation (- 0.050 vs. range - 3.015 to 0.795, P<0.05, vs. the CKD-EPI equation). Regarding P30, interquartile range (IQR), RMSE, and GFR category misclassification, the BIS1 equation generally performed more accurately than the other eqs. (73.9%, 12.7, 12.9, and 35.3%, respectively). Nevertheless, no equation achieved optimal performance for the mGFR≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2 subgroup. Bland-Altman analysis showed the smallest mean difference (- 0.3 ml/min/1.73 m2) for the BIS1 equation when compared to the other equations. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that the BIS1 equation was the most applicable for estimating GFR in Chinese elderly patients with moderate to severe renal impairment.

The Performance of Equations That Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate against Measured Urinary Creatinine Clearance in Critically Ill Patients. Crit Care Res Pract 2021; 2021:5520653. [PMID: 34055406 PMCID: PMC8149233 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5520653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The performance of glomerular filtration rate- (GFR-) estimating equations was studied against creatinine clearance measured by 24-hour urine collection (CrCl24h-urine) in critically ill patients. Methods. In this substudy of the PermiT trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ISRCTN68144998), patients from King Abdulaziz Medical City-Riyadh who had CrCl24h-urine were included. We estimated GFR using Cockroft–Gault (CG), modification of diet in renal disease study (MDRD), chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI), and Jelliffe equations. For the CG equation, we entered the actual weight in one calculation (CGactual-wt), and if BMI ≥30 kg/m2, we entered the ideal body weight (CGideal-wt) and the adjusted body weight (CGadjusted-wt) in two calculations. We calculated the MDRD equation based on 4 (MDRD-4) and 6 variables (MDRD-6). The performance of these equations was assessed by different ways including Spearman correlation, bias (difference between estimated GFR and CrCl24h-urine), precision (standard deviation of bias), and Bland–Altman plot analysis. Results. The cohort consisted of 237 patients (age 45 ± 20 years, males 75%, mechanically ventilated 99% with serum creatinine 101 ± 94 µmol/L and CrCl24h-urine 108 ± 69 ml/min/1.73 m2). The correlations between the different equations and CrCl24h-urine were modest (r: 0.62 to 0.79; p < 0.0001). Bias was statistically significant for CGactual-wt (21 ml/min), CGadjusted-wt (12 ml/min), and MDRD-6 (-10 ml/min) equations. Precision ranged from 46 to 54 ml/min. The sensitivity of equations to correctly classify CrCl24h-urine 30–59.9 ml/min/1.73 m2 was 17.2% for CGactual-wt, 30.0% for CGideal-wt, 31.0% for CGadjusted-wt, 31.0% for MDRD-4, 39.1% for MDRD-6, 13.8% for CKD-EPI, and 34.5% for Jelliffe equation. Conclusions. Commonly used GFR-estimating equations had limited ability to properly estimate CrCl24h-urine and to correctly classify GFR into clinically relevant ranges that usually determine dosing of medications.

Abstract
Introduction:
Measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with the isotopic method is a gold standard. However, it is an elaborate and expensive procedure, so in everyday practice GFR is estimated with creatinine-based formulas. Despite the number of studies, it remains unclear which GFR estimating equation is the most accurate, especially in increasing elderly population.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to compare the commonly used formulas to assess which one of them should be used in elderly female non-diabetic patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Material and methods:
336 non-diabetic females aged 70 and more were qualified to the study. On the basis of serum creatinine concentration, estimated GFR (eGFR) was estimated using various formulas.
Results and discussion:
The eGFR and CKD stages differ significantly depending on the used formula. The modification of diet in renal disease equation (MDRD) formula showed slightly, but still significantly, better correlation with creatinine concentration in serum than the CKD epidemiology collaboration equation. The Cockcroft-Gault equation formula was significantly inferior to above mentioned equations. The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that MDRD is the most sensitive equation and the differences between formulas compared in pairs were significant.
Conclusions:
Due to its highest correlation with creatinine and its highest sensitivity and specificity, the MDRD formula seems to be the most accurate equation to estimate GFR in elderly non-diabetic females.
