Kidney function at 3 months and 1-year Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) [excluding procedural mis] and Major adverse kidney events (MAKE) are listed. Data is shown as odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI) or mean value ± standard deviation (SD) or a number (percentage). MI, Myocardial Infarction; RRT, Renal replacement therapy.

aAdjusted differences are corrected for diabetes status with 3-month renal function measures also adjusting for baseline measures.
