Synthetic dataset was generated based on two publications:

  • adults: Lamb EJ, Barratt J, Brettell EA et al. Accuracy of glomerular filtration rate estimation using creatinine and cystatin C for identifying and monitoring moderate chronic kidney disease: the eGFR-C study. Health Technol Assess 2024;28(35), doi:10.3310/HYHN1078.

  • children/young adults: Pierce CB, Muñoz A, Ng DK et al. Age- and sex-dependent clinical equations to estimate glomerular filtration rates in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease. Kidney International. 2021;99(4):948–956, doi:10.1016/j.kint.2020.10.047.
