Prevalence of estimated GFR reporting among US clinical laboratories.
BACKGROUND Routine laboratory reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may help clinicians detect kidney disease. The current national prevalence of eGFR reporting in clinical laboratories is unknown; thus, the extent of the situation of laboratories not routinely reporting eGFR with serum creatinine results is not quantified. DESIGN Observational analysis. SETTING National ...
متن کاملHow much precision in reporting statistics is enough?
Depending on the accuracy of the tools we employ in our research, each variable is measured within a certain degree of precision. For example, in most clinical studies on adults, age is measured in years. Generally, measuring the age with more accuracy in such studies is neither necessary nor of any particular importance. However, we might measure blood pH in the same study with two or even thr...
متن کاملNew GFR estimation methods in children
Background and Objective: Febrile convulsions (FC) are the most common seizure disorder in children. Lumbar puncture should be considered in any case with FC who is suspected to intracranial infections. This study determined white blood cell and polymorphonuclear cell counts, and protein and glucose levels in cere-brospinal fluids (CFS) of children hospitalized with FC. Methods: In this cross ...
متن کاملEstimated GFR reporting is associated with decreased nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug prescribing and increased renal function
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used; however, they are also nephrotoxic with both acute and chronic effects on kidney function. Here we determined NSAID prescribing before and after estimated GFR (eGFR) reporting and evaluate renal function in patients who used NSAIDs but stopped these after their first eGFR report. A population-based longitudinal analysis using a reco...

among 16-19 year olds than any other age group. Overall attendances at sexually transmitted disease clinics have gradually risen since 1988, and increased use of services may have accounted for some of the 1994-6 rises, which continued into 1997. However, it seems unlikely that the pronounced rise could be attributed solely to a sudden widespread increase in clinic use. There is substantial sex...
