In recumbent elderly patients, creatinine clearance (eCCr) estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation may not necessarily reflect renal function. We aimed to develop a novel formula to revise the CG equation using anthropometric measurements in bedridden elderly patients and evaluate its clinical utility. The subjects included 77 bedridden Japanese patients aged 65, hospitalized at Naruto Yamakami Hospital. The actual CCr (mCCr) value was measured using the 24-hour urine collection method. Anthropometric data, such as …
