terval progression of CAD is possible

Partial verification avoided? No 18/53 patients underwent coronary an-

Differential verification avoided? Yes Disease status (CAD) diagnosed by coro-

Incorporation avoided? Yes Disease status (CAD) diagnosed by coro-

Reference standard results blinded? Yes All available catheterisation studies were in-
All tests terpreted by a blinded, experienced angiog-
rapher using digital callipers

Index test results blinded? Yes All studies were interpreted by an expe-
All tests rienced echocardiographer blinded to the
clinical and stress electrocardiogram data

Relevant clinical information? Yes Relevant clinical information was provided
All tests regarding the performance and analysis of
both the index and reference tests

Uninterpretable results reported? Yes No results were reported to be uninter-
All tests pretable.

Withdrawals explained? Yes All patients missing from the final analysis
All tests were accounted for

Clinical features and settings Clinical features
• Patients with juvenile insulin-dependent DM and ESKD who presented for
kidney transplant cardiac evaluation. Eleven patients with evidence of arteriosclerotic

• University of Oregon Health Sciences Center, Oregon, USA

Participants • Number: 4 participants
• DM: 100%
• Angina pectoris: percentage of patients with angina not reported
• Hypertension:, 100%
• Sex: 36% male
