Risk of projected kidney failure by race compared to whites.

Black Hispanic Asian
Time after Entry eGFR
 1 y 2.17 (1.89–2.49) 1.78 (1.56–2.02) 1.47 (1.20–1.80)
 3 y 1.53 (1.45–1.61) 1.30 (1.24–1.36) 1.10 (1.03–1.19)
 5 y 1.34 (1.29–1.39) 1.15 (1.12–1.19) 0.99 (0.94–1.04)
During Study Period1
 Any entry eGFR 1.34 (1.30–1.38) 1.08 (1.05–1.10) 0.89 (0.85–0.92)
 Entry eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 1.19 (1.47–1.23) 0.92 (0.89–0.94) 0.69 (0.66–0.73)
 Entry eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 1.54 (1.46–1.62) 1.49 (1.42–1.56) 1.41 (1.32–1.51)

Note: Values are shown as OR (95 % CI). Projected kidney failure was defined by an ordinary least squared regression line that would result in eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73m2 by one, three, or five years, or within the study period (by 31st Dec 2009). Logistic regression models were used to estimate the OR and 95% CI for each race/ethnic group in comparison to whites (OR = 1) within the same eGFR strata (n=1,119,816). Regression results were adjusted for age, age-squared, sex, and entry eGFR categorized from 15 to ≥90 mL/min/1.73m2 by units of 15 mL/min/1.73m2.
