Shown are unadjusted incidence rates. Follow-up for CVD events and mortality was terminated at occurrence of ESRD. The follow-up time for ESRD and mortality outcomes included the trial, cohort, and transition periods. The follow-up time for CVD events and CVD deaths included the trial and cohort periods. Similar incidence rates were obtained for each outcome in a sensitivity analysis in which the transition period between the trial and cohort periods was excluded for all events.
