Model 1: unadjusted, model 2: adjusted for age, sex, baseline eGFR, systolic BP, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, model 3: model 2 additionally adjusted for race. We assessed interactions by race, sex, and obesity with each of social determinants of health measure, and none were statistically significant. ADI, Area Deprivation Index, CI, confidence interval; LILA, Low-Income, Low-Access; OR, odds ratio; RUCA, Rural–Urban Commuting Area.
