Table 2.
The predictive performance of three cut-off values for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality
| Cut-off value | All-cause mortality | Cardiovascular mortality | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | AUC | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | AUC | |
| Albuminuria (+) | 30.1 | 85.9 | 0.566 | 39.0 | 85.8 | 0.624 |
| ≥Trace proteinuria | 17.3 | 92.1 | 0.535 | 17.1 | 91.9 | 0.545 |
| ≥(1+) proteinuria | 12.7 | 95.9 | 0.530 | 9.8 | 95.9 | 0.528 |
The subjects censored during 7 year follow-up period by moving out [n = 37 (1.1 %)] was included in those without events
