Sentence examples for mix equation from inspiring English sources

Interestingly, the seminal study on the cystatin C-based equations published by Inker et al. showed a better performance of the CKD-EPI mix equation to estimate GFR [ 23].

Also, the bias of the equations influences the epidemiologic results and we note that in the CKD-EPI study (Table  3 in [ 43]), bias of the CKD-EPI Cys is similar to the bias of the CKD-EPI mix equation in the range of interest for the CKD screening (i.e. around 60 mL/min/1.73 m).

These results underlined the powerful value of each biomarker in the equations: more concordant results between equations based exclusively on creatinine (MDRD versus CKD-EPI), poor concordant results between equations based on creatinine and on cystatin C only (CKD-EPI or MDRD versus CKD-EPI Cys), and intermediate concordance results when the mix equation is compared to others.

Whatever the age range, we observed no difference between the CKD-EPI Cys and the CKD-EPI mix equations.

They also showed good agreement between the CKD-EPI Cys and the CKD-EPI mix equations (κ = 0.71).

On the contrary, no significant difference was found between the CKD-EPI Cys and the CKD-EPI mix equations.

Such a systematic deduction cannot be done when discrepancies are found between the CKD-EPI Cys and the CKD-EPI mix equations.

In 218 subjects, both MDRD and CKD-EPI equations gave a positive screening result although the results were negative for CKD when using the CKD-EPI Cys and CKD-EPI mix equations.

The prevalence of CKD in this population using the MDRD, the CKD-EPI, the CKD-EPI Cys and the CKD-EPI mix equations was 13%, 9.8%, 4.7% and 5%, respectively.

However, agreement between CKD-EPI (or MDRD) and CKD-EPI Cys is low (0.39 and 0.32, respectively) although agreement is slightly better between CKD-EPI (and MDRD) and the CKD-EPI mix equations (0.59 and 0.48, respectively).

Good correlation was achieved with the experimental results applying the complex refractive index mixing equation between 0.4 and 0.6 porosity.
