Modified Schwartz formula and 99mTc-DTPA plasma clearance methods to calculate glomerular filtration rate in critically ill children

© 2021. IPNA..

BACKGROUND: Studies comparing the modified Schwartz formula with measured GFR (m-GFR) are lacking in critically ill children.

METHODS: This prospective cohort study enrolled children aged 1 month to 12 years, within 24 h of admission. m-GFR measured by technetium-99m-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) and calculated by Russell's two-sample slope-intercept method. Serum creatinine was estimated by modified Jaffe method and estimated GFR (e-GFR) calculated by modified Schwartz formula. The primary outcome was to find agreement between the two methods. Bias, precision, and accuracy were calculated. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of AKI (by p-RIFLE criteria) and the difference between the two methods to diagnose AKI.

RESULTS: A total of 208 pairs were analyzed. e-GFR showed good agreement with m-GFR with a mean bias of -4.37 ml/min/1.73 m2 and precision (SD of bias) of 33.07, 95% limit of agreement -69.18 to 60.45, and intraclass correlation of 74% (95%CI 66-80%, P < 0.001). e-GFR underestimated m-GFR by 19.8% (95% CI 7.9-31.7%). Accuracy of e-GFR values within 10%, 20%, and 30% of m-GFR were 68.3%, 72.6%, and 78.8%, respectively. Incidence of AKI within 24 h was 60.1% by e-GFR and 54.3% by m-GFR (kappa 0.569, P < 0.001; sensitivity of 85.8%, 95%CI (78-91.7%).

CONCLUSIONS: The modified Schwartz formula shows good agreement with 99mTc-labeled DTPA double plasma sample clearance method for calculating GFR in critically ill children aged 1 month to 12 years. The underestimation of GFR should be kept in mind while applying the formula at the bedside in PICU.
