Association of Urinary Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio with the Composite Outcome of Cardiovascular Hospitalization or Death: Unadjusted and Multivariable-Adjusted Cox Proportional Hazards Analyses

Model	Hazard ratio (95% CI)	P-value
Unadjusted	1.13 [1.03, 1.23]	0.01
Adjusted model	1.15 [1.04, 1.28]	0.01
Adjusted model + NYHA class	1.16 [1.05, 1.30]	0.01
Adjusted model + E/e′ ratio	1.17 [1.05, 1.31]	0.01
Adjusted model + LV mass index	1.14 [1.02, 1.27]	0.02
Adjusted model + log BNP	1.07 [0.95, 1.21]	0.26

Additional covariates in adjusted model: age, sex, African-American race, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, anemia

Hazard ratio shown per doubling of UACR; UACR = urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; CI = confidence interval; LV = left ventricular; BNP = B-type natriuretic peptide; NYHA = New York Heart Association
