Diagnostic Accuracy of Eight Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations for Assessing Kidney Function in Korean Pediatric Patients

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the accuracy of different equations for estimating kidney function in Korean children.
• Compared eight equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate in pediatric patients.
• Measured accuracy through testing against reference values for kidney function.
• Creatinine-cystatin C-based equations provided superior accuracy compared to others.
• Significant improvements in assessing kidney function in the pediatric population.
