Race-neutral pulmonary function testing, now recommended by ATS and implemented at Boston Medical Center, has had a long road ...

Following use of race-neutral vs. -specific lung function equations, spirometry findings and patterns differed, especially among Black children/adolescents, according to results published in JAMA ...

Race-specific vs. race-neutral lung function equations misclassified more patients with pulmonary fibrosis eligible for trials, therapy and transplantation referral, according to results published ...

Continued use of outdated race-specific equations while diagnosing children with asthma symptoms limits the identification of reduced lung function in Black children.

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care.

Excel can solve equations through several of its mathematical functions, but the single Excel tool that works on the largest variety of equations is the program's Solver Add-in. This tool reads an ...

Long-awaited reports released Thursday call for eliminating race in estimated glomerular filtration rate equations and point to alternatives in an effort to eliminate disparities in chronic kidney ...

Harmonic functions, defined as twice continuously differentiable functions satisfying Laplace’s equation, have long been a subject of intense study in both pure and applied mathematics. Their ...

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is ...
