A wrapper function for cockcroft(), a vectorised function to estimate creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault equation, but using creatinine in mg/dl
cockcroft_US(creat, age, sex, weight)
| creat | numeric vector of creatinine levels in mg/dl |
|---|---|
| age | numeric vector of ages in years |
| sex | character vector of sex ("F" = female, "M" = male) |
| weight | numeric vector of weights in kilograms |
numeric vector of creatinine clearances in ml/min
