Comparison of Predictability of Future Cardiovascular Events Between Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage Based on CKD Epidemiology Collaboration Equation and That Based on Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Equation in the Japanese General Population.

Conclusions: Better discrimination was achieved using eGFR(CKDEPI) than eGFR(MDRD) on univariate analysis. NRI analysis indicated that the use of eGFR(CKDEPI) instead of eGFR(MDRD) offered a significant improvement in reclassification of death risk.
