Evaluating the Predictive Performance of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations for Acute Kidney Injury Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The FAS equation demonstrated superior predictive performance for the incidence of AKI in both the entire cohort and the elderly cohorts.
