Dr. Derek Ng joins EPITalk host and co-author, Dr. Patrick Sullivan to explore whether a neural-network model utilizing two blood biomarkers can more accurately estimate kidney function in pediatric chronic kidney disease than current standard equations. “A comparison of neural networks and regression-based approaches for estimating kidney function in pediatric chronic kidney disease: Practical predictive epidemiology for clinical management of a progressive disease” is published in the May 2025 issue (Vol. 105) of Annals of Epidemiology.
