Bias and precision were calculated using mGFR minus eGFR, thus a positive bias represents an underestimation, and depicted in mean ± SD bias in ml/min/1.73 m2. The P30 accuracy represents the percentage of eGFR that is within a range of ±30% of the mGFR, and is depicted in percentages with 95% confidence interval.
