Notes:

a

apart from pentosidine, only covariates (history of hypertension and diabetic retinopathy) which were statistically significant in the final model are shown;

b

apart from pentosidine, only covariates (history of hypertension and diabetic retinopathy) which were statistically significant in the final model are shown;

c

group 3 is the referent category.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; RR, relative risk.
