Estimated GFR was separated into Chronic Kidney Disease CKDD) categories as defined by the kidney disease outcomes quality initiative (K/DOQI) classification [ 17].
In accordance with the National Kidney Foundation/Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF/DOQI) classification system, these patients were classified into stages 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 for descriptive purposes.
A significant proportion of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), corresponding to CKD Stage 5, the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) classification for kidney failure [ 1].
Were assessed patient's demographic characteristics, asthma severity and its actual control based on Global Initiative for Asthma classification (GINA) 2016, clinical characteristics of the acute episode, length of ICU stay, ventilatory free days and mortality.
AKI was defined according to the ADQI (Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative) criteria (RIFLE classification) [ 15, 16].
Typically, model health states are constructed around the established Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease GOLDD) classification of severity of airflow limitation [ 23].
BMI: body mass index; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV1: forced expired volume in 1 second; GOLD class: Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease classification; PF ratio: PaO2/FiO2.
30 Using FTs, we applied the 2007 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease GOLDD) classification, 31 which was designed for use with postbronchodilator spirometry: potential airflow obstruction was defined as FEV1/FVC <0.7 (FT).
Among stable COPD patients, one quartile increase in forced expiratory volume 1 was associated with a 39% decrease in hs-cTnT and patient category (Global Initiative of Obstructive Lung Disease classification 2011) was positively associated with hs-cTnT (p trend <0.001) after multivariate adjustment.
For the first time a significant increase in e-GST activity has been also found in chronic kidney disease patients under conservative therapy with a positive correlation with disease severity weighted according to the five stages of chronic renal failure of 'kidney disease outcomes quality initiative' (K-DOQI) classification.
An Occupational Safety and Health Administration initiative updating "hazard classifications and labels," which the White House said "is expected to result in an annualized $585 million in estimated savings for employers" was actually proposed in 2006 by the Bush administration.
