The phrase "abbreviated formula" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a shortened or simplified version of a formula, often in mathematical or scientific contexts.
Example: "In chemistry, the abbreviated formula for glucose is C6H12O6."
Alternatives: "shortened formula" or "condensed formula."
Our secondary hypothesis was that the loss of accuracy as a consequence of applying these abbreviated formulae to the base deficit would not be great enough to compromise clinical validity.
From these findings we conclude that it is not always valid to use the abbreviated MDRD formula instead of the six-variable MDRD formula, especially in analyses in which GFR plays a central role.
Renal function was assessed by GFR estimation using three different predictive equations: the six-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation [ 25], the abbreviated MDRD formula [ 26] and the classic Cockcroft-Gault formula [ 27].
The estimated glomerular filtration rate(GFR) was calculated using the abbreviated MDRD formula [ 28].
Despite these limitations, the abbreviated MDRD formula has become the reference method in cancer patients [ 22– 22].
Initially eGFR was calculated using the abbreviated MDRD formula [ 26] (MDRD-4).
Kidney graft function was assessed by estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which was calculated according to abbreviated MDRD formula [ 23].
We showed that the apparent differences were explained by incomparable patient populations and laboratory techniques, and the use of the abbreviated MDRD formula to estimate GFR.
The presented results were reproduced when the classic Cockcroft-Gault or the abbreviated MDRD formula was used (data not shown) and this consistency enhances their strength.
Estimated glomerular filtration was calculated using abbreviated MDRD formula for the purpose of classifying the patients into different stages of CKD.
