Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals are given as per 15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 eGFR. BTP, β-trace protein; B2M, β-microglobulin; Cr-Cys, creatinine–cystatin C; Average 4, average of all four markers for GFR; GP, general population; ACM, all-cause mortality.

a

Indicates significantly different from eGFR from creatinine.

b

Indicates significantly different from eGFR from cystatin C.

c

Indicates significantly different from eGFR from creatinine–cystatin C.
