Page 82 - Cardiac testing for coronary artery disease in potential kidney transplant recipients

Study Reason for exclusion

Ali 2004 Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study
Arantes 2010 Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary an-
giography

Braun 1984 No index tests for comparison.

Brown 1989 Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary an-
giography

Caglar 2006 Patient population not consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients; coronary angiography
only provided to patients who tested positive to other tests

Camp 1990 Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.

Cortigiani 2005 Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.

Cottier 1990 Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study

Cross 1996 Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary an-
giography
Dahan 1995 Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data for
potential transplant recipients not available

Dahan 1998 Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data for
potential transplant recipients not available

Dahan 2002 Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data for
potential transplant recipients not available

De Vriese 2009 Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Roughly 1/3
of the patients that were included in the study were being evaluated for kidney transplantation. The others
consented to have the evaluation as a screening test, because the authors explained to them that the majority
of patients with CAD on dialysis are asymptomatic (author communication). Separate data for potential
transplant recipients not available

Derfler 1991 Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.

Dussol 2004 Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study, only performed on patients who were
index test positive

Eschertzhuber 2005 Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study

Feola 2002 Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
