Values are odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of anemia increasing the likelihood of each outcome (logistic models) or (*) incidence rate ratios (negative binomial models). Dependent variables are the concomitant conditions listed or (*) number of concomitant conditions; independent variable is anemia status. Reference category is the non-anemic group. Regressions are adjusted for age, gender, stage/dialysis status, diabetes as an underlying cause of CKD, and BMI
BMI body mass index, CKD chronic kidney disease, CVA cerebrovascular accident, TIA transient ischemic attack
