Note: Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, race, ethnicity, and study site (N = 3,879); Model 2: Model 1 plus estimated glomerular filtration rate, and 24H urine protein (n = 3,695 owing to missing covariates); Model 3: Model 2 plus BMI, diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, any cardiovascular disease, total cholesterol, statins, number of blood pressure medications, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone. (n = 3,561 owing to missing covariates); Model 4: Model 3 plus calcium, CRP (log-transformed), TSAT, and ferritin (log-transformed).

Abbreviation: FGF23, fibroblast growth factor 23.

Crude rates are reported as rate per 100 patient years (95% CI). Overall rates are reported as event rate per 100 patient year increase per unit increase in natural log of FGF23 (95% CI).
