Newer glomerular filtration rate estimating equations for the full age spectrum based on serum creatinine and cystatin C in predicting mortality in patients with ischemic stroke

In patients with an ischemic stroke, estimated GFR based on serum cystatin (FAScysC and CKD-EPIcysC) was a better predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than estimated GFR based on serum creatinine.
