Prevalence and Cumulative Incidence of Microalbuminuria
Microalbuminuria defined as albumin excretion rate ≥28 μg/min, equivalent to 40 mg/24 h. A, Prevalence at the end of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and during the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study. The differences between the 2 treatment groups are significant at each time point after DCCT closeout (P<.001). B, Cumulative incidence of new cases in the EDIC study for those participants in the intensive- and conventional-treatment groups with normal albuminuria at the beginning and end of the DCCT. The difference in cumulative incidences is significant by the log-rank test (P<.001).
