Estimated glomerular filtration rates are higher when creatinine‐based equations are compared with a cystatin C‐based equation in coronavirus disease 2019
Authors' conclusion
Estimation of GFR based on various analyses of creatinine are higher when compared with a cystatin C-based equation.
Study context
- Population
- Adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19; creatinine and cystatin C analysed at ICU admission
- Participants
- 370 patients
- Exposure
- Creatinine-based estimations of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations vs cystatin C-based Caucasian Asian Pediatric Adult (CAPA) equation
- Outcome
- eGFR (ml/min) by creatinine-based equations vs cystatin C-based CAPA equation
- Follow-up
- ICU admission
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
eGFR
P < 0.00001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
