摘要 目的: 運用病患的血清肌酸酐檢測值與年齡兩個參數,找到一個可以在線上篩選出eGFR-CG <50 mL/min的慢性腎臟性疾病(CKD)患者,簡便、快速、有效率的篩選條件。 方法: 從97年9月至98年1月止,透過藥品與檢驗值監測系統之連結,收入條件為開立目標抗生素、肌酸酐大於等於1.0 mg/dL的住院病人。以Cockcroft-Gault(CG)公式及簡易版MDRD4公式,求得病患的估算腎絲球過濾速率(eGFR),利用不同的血清肌酸酐檢測值與年齡兩項條件進行資料的篩選,並分析篩選條件的成效,求得可以篩選出80%以上eGFR-CG<50 mL/min的病人,但eGFR-CG>50 mL/min者被篩選出的比率最低的最佳化條件。 結果: 研究期間共納入7,381筆資料:男性佔全部69%,病患的平均年紀64.9歲,平均體重61.9公斤,平均Scr值為2.0 mg/dL,平均eGFR-CG與eGFR-MDRD4分別為41.9 mL/min及50.1 mL/min/1.73m2。eGFR-CG < 50 mL/min 共4,895筆,以傳統的Scr>1.5 mg/dL作為篩選條件,只能篩選出2,525筆,遺漏2,370筆(48.4%);以年齡大於65歲作為篩選條件,只能篩選出3,754筆,遺漏1,141筆(23.3%),隨著篩選年齡及Scr的下降,雖然遺漏率逐漸下降,相對的,腎功能正常者被篩選出的比例也逐漸增高。 可以篩選出80%以上eGFR-CG低於50 mL/min病人的最佳化條件為Scr≧1.1 mg/dL及年齡大於54歲,篩出率為80.9%,而eGFR-CG高於50 mL/min的篩出率23.4%。篩選出80%以上eGFR-MDRD4低於50 mL/min/1.73m2的病人,最佳化條件為Scr≧1.2 mg/dL及年齡大於58歲,篩出率為80.6%,而eGFR-MDRD4高於50 mL/min/1.73m2的篩出率23.0%。 結論: 本研究結果指出若是單獨以Scr>1.5 mg/dL作為腎功能不全的篩選指標的話,將會遺漏掉將近50%的病人。篩選出eGFR-CG低於50 mL/min的慢性腎臟性疾病(CKD)患者,最有效篩選條件是年齡大於54歲及Scr≧1.1 mg/dL。 關鍵字:肌酸酐、腎絲球過濾速率 (GFR)、Cockcroft-Gault (CG)、Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)
ABSTRCT Aim: The aim of this study attempted to find an optimal ceiterion which could be used to screen out all possible patient’s whose eGFR was below 50 mL/min. The method was hopefully to screen more than 80% patients whose eGFRs were less than 50 mL/min and the leastof patients whose eGFRs were greater than 50 mL/min. Also this method should be easy to implement into hospital mainframe computer as alertingfunction that could give warningto clinicians when the criterion was met. Methods: We collected all clinical data from September, 2008 to January, 2009 from inpatients population who were using antimicrobials and Scr≧1.0 mg/dL in a hospital. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) was calculated with both Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation (MDRD4). We then set eGFR-CG or eGFR-MDRD4 as the standard indexes to explore the optimal age and Scr for patient’s renal function when patients’s body weights were not available. Results: There were 7,381 patients’ data collected in this study with male patients69%, mean age64.9 years old, mean body weight 61.9 kg, mean eGFR-CG 41.9 mL/min and eGFR-MDRD4 was 50.1 mL/min/1.73m2. There were 4,895 patients whose eGFR-CG was less than 50 mL/min. If we used Scr >1.5mL/min as the cutting-off point, we only screened out 2,525 (51.6%) patients.When we used age older than 65 as the cut-off point, only 3,754 (76.7%) patients would be screened out. However, more than 80% of patients whose eGFR-CG were less than 50 mL/min, If we applied both the age and Scr level as the screening criteria. The optimal cut-off pointwas both patient’s age older than 54 years and patient’s Scr ≧1.1 mg/dL. However the cut-off would be different (i.e., patient’s age was greater than 58 years old and patient’s Scr ≧1.2 mg/dL), when using eGFR-MDRD4 as the standard index. Conclusions: Our study showed that solely using Scr>1.5 mg/dl as the screening index of CKD could be seriously underestimated for almost 50% of patients whose eGFRs were less than 50 mL/min. We finally proposed that using both Age ≧ 54 years and Scr≧1.1 mg/dL would be the most efficient method for screening CKD patients.
