Estimate serum creatinine in neonates — calc_creat

Calculate an estimated serum creatinine. Function takes vectorized input as well.

Usage

calc_creat_neo(pma = NULL, digits = 1)

Arguments

pma: post-natal age in weeks
digits: number of digits to round to

Details

Uses equations described in Germovsek E et al. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27270281) based on data from Cuzzolin et al. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16773403) and Rudd et al. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6838252)

Examples

cr <- calc_creat_neo(pma = 36)
convert_creat_unit(cr$value, unit_in = cr$unit, unit_out = "mg/dL")
#> $value
#> [1] 0.7228368
#> 
#> $unit
#> [1] "mg/dl"
