Figure 1.
Scatterplots of measured ACR versus predicted median ACR for Alberta (A) kidney transplant recipients and (B) non transplant recipients show similar symmetrical distributions around the red diagonal line of identity, indicating unbiased prediction and similar accuracy. The predicted median ACR was calculated using the equations published in Weaver et al. on the basis of a simple linear spline for 2280 ACR/PCR pairs in 627 transplant recipients and 142,049 ACR/PCR pairs in 61,900 non transplant recipients (5% random sample of 7127 pairs shown for clarity).
