Why the study?
Does the pre-procedural modified Mehran score accurately predict the risk of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing PCI?
Does the pre-procedural modified Mehran score accurately predict the risk of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing PCI?
The pre-procedural modified Mehran score is a useful clinical tool for predicting acute kidney injury risk in patients undergoing PCI.
Supports cautious use of modified Mehran score for AKI risk stratification in PCI; leaves open prospective validation.
Despite a small loss in discrimination, there was no difference in the four-category net discrimination index between the two scores. The pre-procedural modified Mehran score is a useful clinical predictor of the risk of AKI in patients undergoing PCI.
