Decreased GFR defined as GFR estimate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the isotope-dilution mass spectrometry–traceable CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation. Total percentage of cases was 7.8% in men and 11.0% in women. American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2011 58, 389-397DOI: (10.1053/j.ajkd.2011.04.017) Copyright © 2011 National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
