Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated by the CKD-EPI Formula is a Powerful Predictor of In-Hospital Adverse Clinical Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome

The prognostic value of admission estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula for cardiovascular adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was explored. Baseline eGFR was classified as no renal dysfunct...

Description
Summary:The prognostic value of admission estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula for cardiovascular adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was explored. Baseline eGFR was classified as no renal dysfunction (>90 mL/min per 1.73 m2), borderline (90-60.1 mL/min per 1.73 m2), moderate (60-30.1 mL/min per 1.73 m2), or severe (≤30 mL/min per 1.73 m2) renal dysfunction. Of the 5034 patients, 3415 (67.8%) had eGFR
