Figure 2.
Probability of death by race while in each eGFR strata below 90 mL/min/1.73m2 in those with projected kidney failure during the study period.
Asians: A
Blacks: B
Hispanics: H
Whites: W
*P<0.05
Note: Deaths after the start of ESRD therapy were not included. Projected kidney failure was defined by an ordinary least squares regression line that would result in eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73m2 within the study period (by 31st Dec 2009). Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the marginal probability and 95% CI for each cell with covariates at their means (n=17,030). Covariates included age, sex, and entry eGFR. Significant differences (P<0.05) between race/ethnic groups are noted. Significant (P<0.05) differences between groups are shown.
