Presence and ORs of high risks of CHD and stroke according to UACR value

Items	High CHD risk		High stroke risk
	n (%)	OR (95% CI)	n (%)	OR (95% CI)
Normal (n = 862)	326 (37.8)	–	99 (11.5)	–
Microalbuminuria (n = 337)	178 (52.8)	1.8 (1.4–2.4)*	81 (24.0)	2.4 (1.8–3.4)*
Macroalbuminuria (n = 202)	110 (54.5)	2.0 (1.4–2.7)*	48 (23.8)	2.4 (1.6–3.5)*

*P<0.001 compared to cases with normal UACR. The 10-year CHD and stroke risks were estimated using the UK prospective diabetes study risk engine, and individuals were categorized as having low (<10%), intermediate (10–20%) or high (>20%) 10-year risk. ORs were calculated with binary logistic regression analysis. CHD: Coronary heart disease; UACR: Urine albumin–to–creatinine ratio; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; –: Not applicable.
