Analysis included Veterans aged 70 years and older with at least one serum creatinine measure within the VA system in Fiscal Year (FY) 2001. The cohort was predominantly male (98%).
eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation
Interquartile range (25th – 75th percentiles)
For some categories, fewer than 75% of Veterans had died at the time of mortality follow-up. For these groups, the 75th percentile of survival is represented by dashes.
Because albumin-to-creatinine ratio was not available for most patients, dipstick proteinuria was used.
