CKD progression events were a 50% decrease in the eGFR or kidney failure.

Model 1 was adjusted for sex and age and sex was expressed as a dichotomous variable.

Model 2 was adjusted for the covariates in Model 1: mean arterial pressure, log-transformed proteinuria.

Model 3 was adjusted for covariates in Model 2 and Oxford classification (MEST-C scores).
