Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: To assess respective roles of serum creatinine (SCr) alone and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as an early predictor for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in elderly patients with cancer.', 'eGFR of 348 patients at 65years or older with malignancy who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) were calculated. eGFR was calculated based on the following three equations: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI); Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD); Cockcroft-Gault (CG). CIN was subdivided into two groups: CIN', 'After CECT, CIN occurred in 50 (14.4%) patients, including 33 CIN\Question: Is renal assessment using CKD-EPI equation useful as an early predictor of contrast- induced nephropathy in elderly patients with cancer?
Output (English): In elderly patients with cancer who visit the emergency department, renal assessment before CECT using CKD-EPI equation was superior to SCr alone, MDRD equation, or CG formula in predicting the occurrence of CIN related CECT.
