2018, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :The BIS equations have been specifically developed in an older population and published in 2012 [22]. It showed a reduced rate of misclassification of CKD stages [22, 56], which was confirmed in two external validation studies in older patients [66, 67]. In our review, three cross-sectional studies and five longitudinal studies were published after 2012, but none of them included BIS equation for kidney function assessment.
