Predictive effect of estimated glomerular filtrate rate by creatinine or cystatin C on mortality in patients with coronary artery disease by Shiqun Chen, Yang Zhou, Guoxiao Liang, Wanying Wu, Zhigang Huang, Lile Shi, Yuwei Gao, Xia Gu, Dongmei Wang

“…Similar results were observed in all-cause mortality. Restricted cubic spline showed a U-shaped association between eGFRcr and all outcomes in patients with both reduced and supranormal eGFR levels, while a L-shaped association in eGFRcys and eGFRcr-cys.Conclusions Estimated GFR based on both creatinine and cystatin C has highest predictive effect for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among CAD patients. …”
