Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Renal function concordance measured as the difference between Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) measurements calculated from serum creatinine measurements recorded by the standard pathology test and each point of care device (not POCT vs POCT); Timepoint(s): Day 1 only | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Failure rates, recorded as the number of test analyses which do not produce a result from PoCT and laboratory tests at day 1 2. Appropriateness of the modified Choyke screening questionnaire to identify patients with reduced renal function, measured as the number of patients with no risk factors who have a reduced renal function identified (eGFR<40) at day 1 | — |
