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.
