Hi,
is anybody able to help me of how to write the following equation in SAS?
eGFRcr = 142 x min(Scr/κ, 1)α x max(Scr/κ, 1)-1.200 x 0.9938Age x 1.012 [if female]
where:
Scr = standardized serum creatinine in mg/dL
κ = 0.7 (females) or 0.9 (males)
α = -0.241 (female) or -0.302 (male)
min(Scr/κ, 1) is the minimum of Scr/κ or 1.0
max(Scr/κ, 1) is the maximum of Scr/κ or 1.0
Age (years)
Thanks in advance!
Hi @ursula,
With input data like this
data have;
input SCr age sex $;
cards;
0.82 65 M
0.93 71 F
;
you can compute eGFR according to your formula as follows
data want;
set have;
if n(SCr, age)=2 then do;
if sex='F' then eGFR=142*min(SCr/0.7,1)**-0.241*max(SCr/0.7,1)**-1.2*0.9938**age*1.012;
else if sex='M' then eGFR=142*min(SCr/0.9,1)**-0.302*max(SCr/0.9,1)**-1.2*0.9938**age;
end;
run;
and, if you like to get external confirmation, compare a few results to those of the online calculator https://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator with

Thank you so much for your help!
I really appreciate for the prompt response!
Have a great weekend!
sorry , I have a tiny quick question about the code from you.
data want;
set have;
if n(SCr, age)=2 then do;
if sex='F' then eGFR=142*min(SCr/0.7,1)**-0.241*max(SCr/0.7,1)**-1.2*0.9938**age*1.012;
else if sex='M' then eGFR=142*min(SCr/0.9,1)**-0.302*max(SCr/0.9,1)**-1.2*0.9938**age;
end;
run;
what does the "n" ( if n(SCr, age) = 2 then do:) mean?
Thanks,
