| Hazard ratio (95% CI) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Excluding dialysis patients | Excluding patients with proteinuria | Patients without pre-existing CVDa | |
| Number of subjects | 19,250 | 15,792 | 15,116 |

CI, confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease.

Pre-existing CVD includes acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, cardiac catherization, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident (including all stroke-related events), and percutaneous coronary interventions in the 3 years before admission and during the index hospitalization.
