Patient safety monitoring using Shewhart control charts for functional outcomes for (a) postoperative day (POD) 7 serum creatinine and (b) POD 7 estimated glomerular filtration rate.
POD=postoperative day; GFR=glomerular filtration rate; SD=standard deviation.
* The alarm limit for the estimated GFR lay at −14ml/min, which although a mathematical possibility is not a biological possibility; therefore, we adjusted it to lie at 0ml/min.
