Comparison of the performance of the updated Schwartz, combined Schwartz and the Grubb glomerular filtration rate equations in a general pediatric population
To determine the performance of the updated Schwartz, combined Schwartz and Grubb glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations in a relatively large number of healthy children with no known renal disease, we studied 712 students aged between seven and 18 years from the Isfahan province of Iran by rand...

A high concordance in estimating GFR (mean difference: 0 ± 12.7 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) and a very good agreement in defining chronic kidney disease (CKD) and non-CKD individuals (weighted kappa: 0.85; 95% confidence intervals: 0.69-1) were observed between the updated Schwartz and the combined Schwartz equations.
