What is recorded here?
Derived and tested an age-, weight-, sex- and serum-creatinine-based equation for estimating creatinine clearance against repeated measured clearances in the reported patient samples.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact two-author 1976 paper and its derivation and validation cohorts. It is not a direct GFR measurement, is not uniformly accurate across all body compositions and clinical populations, and does not absorb later estimating equations.
