Should We Continue to Use the Cockcroft-Gault Formula?

Abstract: Background/Aims: Although the National Kidney Disease Education Program recommends use of the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), most drug-dosing recommendations and clinical practices employ the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula. The quality score of the original MDRD study was better than that of the original CG study, although the imprecision sources were very similar between the formulas. To address whether CG should be abandoned in favour of M… Show more

“…This is in the same range as previously reported [19] and disappeared using the Schwartz formula. The Cockcroft-Gault formula remains the favoured formula to estimate GFR in adult patients with normal serum creatinine but might be worse than other formulas like the modification of diet in renal disease formula in subjects with chronic kidney disease [21]. In our study correlation of the Cockcroft-Gault and Schwartz formula was poor ( r = 0.49), which highlights the dilemma that no formula for eCCL is sufficient to estimate renal function in a CF cohort consisting of children, adolescents, and adult patients.…”

“…However, CG formula is considered of interest in screening declining renal function in subjects with normal serum creatinine (SC) in order to investigate sample of population at risk [29]. Moreover, CG predicts mortality better than the CKD-EPI and MDRD in a recent study aiming to assess 1-year mortality prediction in patients with heart failure and concomitant atrial fibrillation [30].…”

“…6 In this study, the mean CCr was 54.7 6 26.3 mL/minute, and 63.1% of participants were judged as having renal dysfunction, which may mask the impact of renal dysfunction on functional outcome. The Cockcroft-Gault formula is useful in older patients for screening the decline of renal function, 28 but it is not safe in patients with a low BMI (eg, BMI ,21) 29 or in ill or hospitalized patients. 30 In this study, the mean BMI was 21.8 6 4.1, and 156 (45.3%) patients had a BMI of less than 21.…”
