Table 1. Definitions outcome measurements.
Definition bias | Formula | Ref. |
---|---|---|
Median difference | md eGFR-mGFR | [67,120] |
Median percentage difference* | md ((eGFR-mGFR)/mGFR) x 100% | [120] |
Mean difference | 1/n x Σ (eGFR-mGFR) | [135] |
Mean percentage difference ‡ | 1/n x Σ ((eGFR-mGFR)/mGFR) x 100% | [142] |
Precision | Formula | Ref. |
Inter quartile range (IQR) difference | IQR of (eGFR—mGFR) | [67] |
IQR percentage difference* | IQR of ((eGFR-mGFR)/mGFR) x 100% | [67] |
Limits of agreement (LOA) | Mean difference ± 1.96 SD | [135,136] |
Standard deviation difference (SD) | σ of all the individual differences | [67,135] |
Accuracy | Formula | Ref. |
Pk § | Percentage of estimates within k% of mGFR | [67] |
Median absolute percentage error (mAPE) | md ((|eGFR—mGFR|)/mGFR) x 100% | [142] |
Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) | 1/n x Σ ((|eGFR—mGFR|)/mGFR) x 100% | [142] |
* Preferred definition because a relative scale provides a more relevant metric.
‡ In some articles the mean percentage difference was called the mean percentage error (MPE).
§ Preferred definition of accuracy. We limited our search to P10, P20, P30 and P50.
