Canadian Association of Radiologists consensus guidelines for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy: update 2012.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury or contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a significant complication of intravascular contrast medium (CM). These guidelines are intended as a practical approach to risk stratification and prevention. The major risk factor that predicts CIN is pre-existing chronic kidney disease. METHODS: Members of the committee represent radiologists and nephrologists across Canada. The previous guidelines were reviewed, and an in-depth up-to-date literature review was carried out. RESULTS: A serum creatinine level (SCr) should be obtained, and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be calculated within 6 months in the outpatient who is stable and within 1 week for inpatients and patients who are not stable. Patients with an eGFR of ≥ 60 mL/min have an extremely low risk of CIN. The risk of CIN after intra-arterial CM administration appears be at least twice that after intravenous administration. Fluid volume loading remains the single most important measure, and hydration regimens that use sodium bicarbonate or normal saline solution should be considered for all patients with GFR < 60 mL/min who receive intra-arterial contrast and when GFR < 45 mL/min in patients who receive intravenous contrast. Patients are most at risk for CIN when eGFR < 30 mL/min. Additional preventative measures include the following: avoid dehydration, avoid CM when appropriate, minimize CM volume and frequency, avoid high osmolar CM, and discontinue nephrotoxic medications 48 hours before administration of CM.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
