Hazard Ratios for Mortality

	Model A Hazard Ratio (95% CI)	Model Ba
Frailty	2.1 (1.6–2.8)	2.0 (1.5–2.7)
Microalbuminuria	2.1 (1.8–2.3)	1.9 (1.7–2.1)
CKD stage 3a	2.6 (2.1–3.3)	2.4 (2.0–3.0)
CKD stage 3b-5	3.1 (2.3–4.3)	3.0 (2.2–4.1)
Diabetes	—	1.3 (1.2–1.6)
Chronic lung disease	—	1.7 (1.4–2.0)
Cancer	—	1.3 (1.1–1.6)
Arthritis	—	0.9 (0.8–1.0)

CI = confidence interval; CKD = chronic kidney disease.

Both models are adjusted for the complex survey design, age, sex, and race.

^aAlso adjusted for diabetes, chronic lung disease, cancer, and arthritis.
