Parameter estimates for continuous variables were computed for intervals equal to one half the interquartile range. All of the variables shown in Table 1 were considered; only those with the P < 0.05 are shown. Model 1 adjusted for age and gender; model 2 adjusted for age, gender, and variables with P < 0.05 in model 1. GN, glomerulonephritis.
