Recently, a new formula, the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), has been developed that shows a much improved concordance between eGFR and true measured GFR, especially in the earlier stages of CKD. 10 The US National Kidney Foundation has recently recommended the adoption of the CKD-EPI formula for routine eGFR reporting by laboratories in the USA.
We analysed whether a modified (delayed) well interpretation improved concordance, allowing growth in drug-containing wells to be interpreted as resistant if it occurred within 7 or 14 days after TB growth was first identified in drug-free wells (and not only on the same day).
Although PaO2/FiO2 calculation improved concordance (CCC = 0.77; CI 95% = 0.64 to 0.86), measures presented a similar percentage of error (23.8%).
Adjusting for FiO2 values (PaO2/FiO2) only improved concordance of measures, but underestimation and significant percentage of error were still present.
