Associations of self-rated health with all-cause mortality, kidney disease progression, and the combined end point of mortality or kidney disease progression
| End Point | Self-Rated Health | |
|---|---|---|
| Good to Excellent | Fair to Poor | |
| All-cause mortality | ||
| Events, n (IR) | 30 (37.6) | 88 (109.2) |
| HR (95% CI) | ||
| Model 1 | 1.0 (ref) | 3.39 (1.70 to 6.75) |
| Model 2 | 1.0 (ref) | 2.76 (1.28 to 5.89) |
| Kidney disease progression | ||
| Events, n (IR) | 50 (89.3) | 88 (193.8) |
| HR (95% CI) | ||
| Model 1 | 1.0 (ref) | 2.38 (1.20 to 4.70) |
| Model 2 | 1.0 (ref) | 1.94 (1.49 to 2.56) |
| Combined end point | ||
| Events, n (IR) | 68 (136.3) | 147 (300.1) |
| HR (95% CI) | ||
| Model 1 | 1.0 (ref) | 2.49 (1.94 to 3.26) |
| Model 2 | 2.21 (1.66 to 2.96) | |
Incidence rates are expressed per 1000 person-years. Model 1 includes age, sex, race (white, black, or other), work status (full-time, part-time, unemployed, retired, or on disability), education attainment (some high school or less, high school, or college or more). Model 2 includes model 1 and adds body mass index, systolic BP, diabetes status, prevalent coronary artery disease, current smoking status, eGFR, urine albumin to creatinine ratio (log-transformed), β-blocker use, and current alcohol use. IR, incident rate; HR, hazard ratio; ref, reference value.
