Novel eGFR equations and cardiovascular outcomes in a multiethnic Asian cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Novel creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations were proposed for chronic kidney disease (CKD) evaluation but their comparative ability to predict mortality and cardiovascular events is less established. We compared four Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations and three European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equations in predicting risk for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in multiethnic Asians.

Methods

We performed analysis of Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases population-based cohort that recruited Chinese and Indian aged 40-80 years between 2007 and 2011. The outcomes of death and incident cardiovascular events were ascertained by data linkage with National Registry of Diseases Office until 3
