Except where indicated, values shown are given as estimate (95% CI); p. Unit for mGFR and eGFR and for the difference (error) is ml/min/1.73 m2. Unit for change is ml/min/1.73 m2 per year computed using non-log transformed values or % per year computed log transformed values. Intercepts for the model using log transformed values are not shown.
