Adjusted Hazard Ratio for Death Resulting From Any Cause, Cardiovascular Events, and Hospitalization Among 1 120 295 Ambulatory Adults According to the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate^*

	Adjusted Hazard Ratio (95% CI)
Estimated GFR, mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2	Death Resulting From Any Cause	Any Cardiovascular Event	Any Hospitalization
≥60†	1.00	1.00	1.00
45–59	1.2 (1.1–1.2)	1.4 (1.4–1.5)	1.1 (1.1–1.1)
30–44	1.8 (1.7–1.9)	2.0 (1.9–2.1)	1.5 (1.5–1.5)
15–29	3.2 (3.1–3.4)	2.8 (2.6–2.9)	2.1 (2.0–2.2)
<15	5.9 (5.4–6.5)	3.4 (3.1–3.8)	3.1 (3.0–3.3)

GFR indicates glomerular filtration rate; CI, confidence interval.

^*The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, income, education, use or nonuse of dialysis, and presence or absence of prior coronary heart disease, prior chronic heart failure, prior ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, prior peripheral arterial disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, a serum albumin level of ≤3.5 g/dL, dementia, cirrhosis or chronic liver disease, chronic lung disease, documented proteinuria, and prior hospitalizations.

^†This group served as the reference group.
