Prognosis Assesment of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by the New CKD-EPI Equations in Comparison with the Modification in Diet of Renal Disease in Non-St Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes

Aims: The new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) more accurately than Modification Diet for Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether CKD-EPI equations predict risk for mortality more accurately than MDRD in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS)
