Clinical features and settings	Clinical features Patients with juvenile insulin‐dependent DM and ESKD who presented for kidney transplant cardiac evaluation. Eleven patients with evidence of arteriosclerotic heart disease gave their informed consent for coronary arteriogram and left ventricular angiogram. Seven patients had EST. Setting University of Oregon Health Sciences Center, Oregon, USA
Participants	Number: 4 participants DM: 100% Angina pectoris: percentage of patients with angina not reported Hypertension:, 100% Sex: 36% male
Study design	Cohort study
Target condition and reference standard(s)	Coronary artery stenosis measured by coronary angiography Absolute degree of stenosis recorded for each patient.
Index and comparator tests	EST
Follow‐up	30‐38 months, unless death occurred earlier.
Notes	Three of the seven patients had a non‐diagnostic stress test due to inadequate rate as a result of fatigue.
Table of Methodological Quality
Item	Authors' judgement	Description
Representative spectrum? All tests	Yes	Patients with juvenile insulin‐dependent DM and ESKD who presented for kidney transplant cardiac evaluation.
Acceptable reference standard? All tests	Yes	Coronary artery stenosis measured by coronary angiography. Absolute degree of stenosis recorded for each patient.
Acceptable delay between tests? All tests	Unclear	Unclear, but likely to be only short delay between tests.
Partial verification avoided? All tests	Yes	All patients received angiography.
Differential verification avoided? All tests	Yes	This was not an issue in this study. Disease status (CAD) is diagnosed only through coronary angiography.
Incorporation avoided? All tests	Yes	This was not an issue in this study. Disease status (CAD) is diagnosed only through coronary angiography.
Reference standard results blinded? All tests	Unclear	Not reported.
Index test results blinded? All tests	Unclear	Not reported.
Relevant clinical information? All tests	Yes	Relevant clinical information was provided regarding the performance and analysis of both the index and reference tests.
Uninterpretable results reported? All tests	Yes	No results were reported to be uninterpretable.
Withdrawals explained? All tests	Yes	All patients missing from the final analysis were accounted for.
