Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is widely used as a surrogate marker of renal function and is mathematically derived from the patient's serum creatinine, using their age, sex and ethnicity. There is some controversy over whether ethnicity should be included in the calculations."

Line 1:227 · Use the Oxford comma in 'age, sex and ethnicity'.
