Adjusted estimates reported as hazard ratio (95% confidence interval); eGFR reported in ml/min/1.73m2. Demographic adjusted models control for age, sex, race, and albuminuria. Multivariable adjusted models control for age, sex, race, and time-updated hypertension, diabetes, lung disease, dyslipidemia, smoking, CD4 count, HIV viral load, antiretroviral therapy, and albuminuria.
