Table 5. Calculation for Attributable Proportion of CKD for All-cause Mortality.

Mortality No Mortality Total
CKD a 24420 b 173104 197524
No CKD c 29437 d 928376 957813
Total 53857 1101480 Grand Total (a+b+c+d) 1155337

APt = [(Rt–Ru)/Rt]×100.

APt is Attributable Proportion of mortality due to CKD in the total population.

Rt is the prevalence of mortality in the total population = a+c/a+b+c+d.

Ru is the prevalence of mortality in the unexposed (without CKD) population = c/c+d.

Rt = 53857/1155337 = 4.66%.

Ru = 29437/957813 = 3.07%.

APt = 34.1%.
