| Risk Factor | Adjusted for | HR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Diabetes | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 2.78 (2.08 to 3.71) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 2.45 (1.79 to 3.35) | |
| Hypertension | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 1.54 (1.16 to 2.05) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 1.45 (1.08 to 1.94) | |
| Current smoking | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 2.02 (1.40 to 2.91) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 2.27 (1.56 to 3.31) | |
| HDL (per SD)b | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 0.76 (0.61 to 0.96) |
| Demographics + baseline creatinine + traditional risk factors | 0.91 (0.74 to 1.12) | |
| LDL (per SD)b | Demographics + baseline creatinine | 0.96 (0.83 to 1.11) |

a
Demographics: age, gender, and race; traditional risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, HDL, LDL, and prevalent CHD.
b
Scaled variable = variable/SD of variable.
