Please review the study inclusion/exclusion criteria for the Artemis Trial prior to using this calculator. Note that the disabled/greyed-out fields are exclusionary criteria for the ARTEMIS trial. They are included as a reminder.
The Prescreening Tool for ARTEMIS Trial / Renal Failure Risk Calculator was developed by the STS Research and Analytic Center as a tool to assist ARTEMIS Trial enrolling sites during their patient screening for trial eligibility. It provides objective estimates of renal failure risk given the patient’s specific risk profile and planned surgery type. It incorporates STS risk models that are designed to serve as statistical tools to account for the impact of patient risk factors on the risk of renal failure. You can read about these updated risk models in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery ( Part 1—Background, Design Considerations, and Model Development ¹ and Part 2—Statistical Methods and Results .²)
The estimates should be considered as only one of several sources of information in determining study eligibility.
