Validation of new baseline renal function predictive model in robotic‐assisted partial nephrectomy cohort

Abstract

Abbreviations & Acronyms eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate NB-GFR = new baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate RAPN = robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy RCC = renal cell carcinoma

Editorial Comment from Dr Ambrosini et al. to Validation of new baseline renal function predictive model in robotic‐assisted partial nephrectomy cohort

“…Recently, Geldmaker et al 5 sought to examine the validity of the Palacios' equation on a group of 321 patients exclusively submitted to robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed by a single surgeon. According to their results, the NB-GFR formula had a high level of accuracy with 98.8% of predicted NB-GFRs falling within 30% of the observed NB-GFR (95% CI 86.8-99.5).…”

Editorial Comment from Dr Shao to Validation of new baseline renal function predictive model in robotic‐assisted partial nephrectomy cohort

“…The study 2 externally validated the predictive model to estimate NB‐GFR after radical or partial nephrectomy, which was originally proposed by Palacios et al. in 2021, and was validated both internally and externally in the original paper 3 . The model was created utilizing preoperative eGFR, surgery type (radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy), age, preoperative imaging tumor size, and presence/absence of diabetes.…”
