Comparison of modification of diet in renal disease and chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration formulas in predicting long-term outcomes in patients undergoing stent implantation due to stable coronary artery disease.

Introduction: The aim was to assess the predictive value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using two formulas: modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI), in a population with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI).

Methods: The analyzed cohort included 3,141 consecutive patients with SCAD who underwent PCI, between January 2006 and December 2011. Follow-up data were available for 3,123 (99.

Red cell distribution width is associated with long-term prognosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Background: Data regarding the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) values and mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease are scarce. We aimed to investigate the link between mortality and RDW in patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We analyzed 2550 consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent PCI between 2007 and 2011 at our institution.
