ACP does not support NQF 0604: 鈥淎dult(s) with Diabetes Mellitus that had a Serum Creatinine in Last 12 Reported Months.鈥 While this may be a common clinical practice, the ACP guideline states that there is inconclusive evidence to support serum creatinine testing in asymptomatic adults with risk factors (i.e. diabetic patients). In addition, there is insufficient evidence to support the timing of a serum creatinine assessment (i.e. annual assessment).
