Listed in ascending order of the P value of the beta-coefficient of cohort 1. The variables for which P were ≤2 or >0.2 for all are in bold. A negative beta-coefficient predicted good reproducibility and a positive beta-coefficient predicted decreased reproducibility.

DRF, differential renal function; GFR, glomerular filtration rate LKTBR, left kidney to background ratio; RKTBR, right kidney to background ratio.
