Table 4 Results from Smythe et al[22] showed that rounding of serum creatinine to 1.0 in elderly patients was less accurate than using the patients actual serum creatinine
| Method | Bias = CrClmeas - CrClcalc (CI) | Precision |
| CG using IBW without gender adjustment | ||
| Actual SCr | 2.3 (-10.3-14.8) | 22.5 |
| Rounded SCr | 28.8 (19.1-38.4) | 17.4 |
| CG using ActBW without gender adjustment | ||
| Actual SCr | -13.6 [-26.8-(-0.43)] | 23.6 |
| Rounded SCr | 16.3 (4.5-28.1) | 21.2 |
| CG using ActBW with gender adjustment | ||
| Actual SCr | -5.2 (-17.2-7.1) | 22.1 |
| Rounded SCr | 22.6 (11.5-33.7) | 19.9 |
