Estimated crude and adjusted hazard ratios for incidence of ESRF in all patients. *full model includes all variables, since analyses were conducted on the age-scale, effects are taking account of current age; **interaction parameters (95%CI): crude model: -0.088 (-0.162,-0.014); p = 0.019 full model: -0.093 (-0.174,-0.012); p = 0.024; #effect of 100 mg/mmol creatinine = (displayed hazard ratio)0.7 effect of 200 mg/mmol creatinine = (displayed hazard ratio)1.4; ##effect of 10 ml/min/1.73 m2 decrease = (displayed hazard ratio)2 effect of 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 decrease = (displayed hazard ratio)3
