Risk factors for death or major cardiovascular events in kidney donors and non-donors* when each group was analysed separately. Figures are rate ratios (95% CI)
| Donors | Non-donors | |
|---|---|---|
| Death or major cardiovascular event | ||
| Older age (per 5 years)† | 1.44 (1.25 to 1.66) | 1.61 (1.55 to 1.68) |
| Women (v men) | 0.73 (0.40 to 1.33) | 0.43 (0.37 to 0.51) |
| Rural residence (v urban residence) | 0.58 (0.21 to 1.62) | 1.06 (0.86 to 1.32) |
| Higher income fifth (per fifth) | 0.77 (0.61 to 0.96) | 0.85 (0.80 to 0.90) |
| More recent year of index (per year) | 0.97 (0.88 to 1.08) | 0.99 (0.96 to 1.01) |
| Major cardiovascular event (death censored) | ||
| Older age (per 5 years)† | 1.47 (1.23 to 1.75) | 1.60 (1.51 to 1.69) |
| Women (v men) | 0.57 (0.26 to 1.23) | 0.27 (0.21 to 0.35) |
| Rural (v urban) residence | 0.70 (0.21 to 2.34) | 1.23 (0.91 to 1.65) |
| Higher income fifth (per fifth) | 0.83 (0.63 to 1.10) | 0.86 (0.79 to 0.93) |
| More recent year of index (per year) | 0.92 (0.81 to 1.04) | 0.98 (0.94 to 1.01) |
