The agreement between estimated by 5 creatinine and/or cystatin-C formulas and measured GFR was evaluated by specific statistics for continuous data, including the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), total deviation index (TDI), coverage probability (CP) [X]. The CCC varies from 0 to 1 and combines meaningful components of accuracy and precision. A CCC > 0.90 reflects optimal concordance between measurements. The TDI captures a large proportion of data within a boundary for allowed differences between 2 measurements. Empirical TDI was calculated for a theoretical TDI of 10% and a CP of 90%. We defined a priori that acceptable bias between eGFR and mGFR should be at least 10%, and that 90% of the estimations should be included within these limits. This is based on previous reports and the reproducibility of measured GFR considering different methods [X]. Coverage probability varies from 0 to 1 and estimates whether a given TDI is less than a prespecified fixed percentage.
