A risk scoring system for the decreased glomerular filtration rate in Chinese general population.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to establish a risk scoring system for the decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in Chinese general population. METHODS: Totally 781 participants who underwent a health checkup in The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to September 2017 were involved in the study. Significant variables chosen by multivariable logistic regression analysis were allocated the integral scores in proportion to its odds ratio (OR), and then the risk of decreased GFR was assessed based on the scores. RESULTS: The people with abnormal homocysteine (Hcy) level (OR: 1.534, 95% confidential interval [CI]: 1.075-2.190, P = .018), males (OR: 2.054, 95%CI: 1.365-3.092, P /=59 years (OR: 13.452, 95%CI: 7.339-24.657, P /= 13, n = 103) was 5.26%, 16.89%, 22.93% and 50.24%, respectively, and this prevalence raised with the increase of scores (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: A risk scoring system is developed in this study, which may offer a specific risk stratification for GFR reduction in Chinese general population.
