Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new version of the egfr program is available on SSC. This program calculates eGFR from serum creatinine (and/or cystatin C) and is useful for people analysing datasets that include kidney function.
The main update is that it can now calculate the 2021 race-free CKD-EPI eGFR (with or without cystatin C). I also removed the default formula which was the old 4-variable MDRD formula, which is no longer appropriate as a default. Old code expecting that default can be updated if needed to specify that formula directly and results will be unchanged.
To install this package run:
