Difference score for each subject=mGFR-eGFR by CKD-EPI cystatin C, CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C and new GFR-estimating equations

Bias=Mean of the difference scores

Precision=Standard deviation of the difference scores

Accuracy=Root mean squared error (RMSE)

*

Lower values of precision and accuracy indicate higher precision and higher accuracy, respectively

P values compare the performance of CKD-EPI cystatin C and CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equations to new GFR-estimating equation. P-values reported for bias reflect difference in the location of bias, not the magnitude of bias

CI=Confidence interval
