Preprocedural Prediction Model for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Patients.
Several models have been developed for prediction of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN); however, they only contain patients receiving intra-arterial contrast media for coronary angiographic procedures, which represent a small proportion of all contrast procedures. In addition, most of them evaluate radiological interventional procedure-related variables. So it is necessary for us to develop a model for prediction of CIN before radiological procedures among patients administered contrast media. ⋯ The newly established model shows excellent predictive ability of CIN development and thereby provides preventative measures for CIN.
