Disparities in the Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate According to Cockcroft‐Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease‐4, and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration Equations and Relation With Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract

In patients with acute coronary syndrome, the Cockcroft-Gault equation presented superior predictive ability for major adverse cardiovascular events, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality compared with MDRD-4 equation, and superior predictive ability for major bleeding compared with CKD-EPI equation. The Cockcroft-Gault equation also showed higher net benefit and clinical usefulness.
