Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Renal function concordance measured as the difference between the serum creatinine value from PoCT and laboratory analysis at initial visit. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Recruitment rate recorded as the number of eligible participants who consented to participate in the study at initial visit 2. Attrition rate recorded as the number of participants that return for follow up blood test at 2-3 days post-contrast administration 3. Failure rate recorded as the number of test analyses which do not produce a result from PoC and laboratory tests at initial and follow up visits 4. Screening questionnaire effectiveness measured as the number of patients with no risk factors who have a reduced renal function identified (eGFR <40) at initial visit 5. Renal function recorded as the concordance between serum creatinine and eGFR from the pre-scan result obtained within 3 months of scan and the renal function at initial visit 6. Rate of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) recorded as the number of participants who have a =25% rise in serum creatinine on follow up blood test 2-3 days post-contrast administration | — |
