Safer Carboplatin dosing for patients with low serum creatinine Copied

When ordering Carboplatin for patients with a serum creatinine less than 0.7mg/dl, the system now calculates the dose based on the patient’s actual serum creatinine as well as based on the NCCN recommendation.

NCCN recommends using a minimum creatinine of 0.7mg/dL to avoid CrCL overestimation with abnormally low creatinine values, including in elderly or cachectic patients. The system presents both calculated values to the user and defaults to the NCCN recommendation.
