Table 3.
Annualized event rates (percent) and hazard ratios for the composite outcome of cardiovascular and Kidney Events or all-cause mortality in a combined group from the ASTRAL trial and Salford observational cohort undergoing renal revascularization alongside standard of care, versus those only managed with medical standard of care. Findings are adjusted for baseline age, gender, kidney function, and other variables as per Table S1, and displayed according to subgroups of clinical phenotypes and stenosis severity.
