Relationship between level of eGFR and event rate for primary composite end point of death from cardiovascular disease, a major coronary event, or nonfatal stroke. Kaplan-Meier curves show the primary composite end point during the 7-year study period stratified by (A) eGFR≥90 ml/min per 1.73 m2, (B) eGFR=60–89 ml/min per 1.73 m2, (C) eGFR=45–59 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and (D) eGFR<45 ml/min per 1.73 m2. EzSimva, ezetimibe and simvastatin; Simva, simvastatin.
