Table 5 Severity score system

From: Design and methods of the NiCK study: neurocognitive assessment and magnetic resonance imaging analysis of children and young adults with chronic kidney disease

Clinical characteristics

Points

Past disease activity score

 

  Has the subject ever received dialysis?

No = 0, Yes = 1

  Has the subject ever received a kidney transplant?

No = 0, Yes = 1

  Did the subject receive dialysis or transplant at age ≤ 5 years?

No = 0, Yes = 1

Current estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, ml/min/1.73m2) score

 

  eGFR > 60

0

  30 < eGFR ≤ 60

1

  15 < eGFR ≤ 30

2

  eGFR ≤ 15

3

Severity Score (past disease activity score + current eGFR score)

0 to 6

  1. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate (using the bedside CKiD equation [12] for subjects aged <18 years or the MDRD equation [13] for those ≥ 18 years).
