AKI misclassification rates of estimated GFR of 75 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and full multiple imputation plus serum creatinine when proportion of patients with missing data is varied

Model Proportion of Patients with Missing Data

 Full multiple imputation + SCr 14.4(9.3–21.4) 17.5(13.4–22.5) 14.9(12.5–17.5) 15.5(13.7–17.5) 16.1(14.6–17.7)
AKI misclassification (eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2)
 eGFR 75 6.9(5.5–8.5) 6.7(5.7–7.8) 6.4(5.7–7.1) 6.5(5.9–7.2) 7.0(6.4–7.5)
 Full multiple imputation + SCr 7.2(5.8–8.9) 7.6(6.5–8.7) 7.5(6.8–8.4) 7.8(7.1–8.5) 8.3(7.8–9.0)

Rates shown are for within the proportion of patients with missing data. eGFR, estimated GFR; eGFR 75, estimated GFR = 75 ml/min per 1.73 m2; SCr, serum creatinine.
