Take the renal medicine at CMUH as examples. Wenow can use the serial repeated measurement ofeGFR to track the disease course and predict patients’ risk of developing adverse outcomes for each patient who received care at our hospital. One example is the CKD Vigilant Information System. We found the first year eGFR variability is very useful in predicting the disease progression, CVD, and mortality for patients receiving CKD care in our hospital. Wedevelop a real-time automated risk alarming system to help nephrologist’s everyday practice.
