A vectorised function to calculate the UKELD score using SI units for bilirubin and creatinine.
ukeld(INR, bili, creat, Na, units = "SI")
| INR | numeric vector of INR |
|---|---|
| bili | numeric vector of bilirubin in µmol/l |
| creat | numeric vector of creatinine in µmol/l |
| Na | numeric vector of sodium in mmol/l |
| units | Units for bilirubin and creatinine ("SI" for µmol/l (default), "US" for mg/dl) |
numeric vector of UKELD scores
