Abbreviations: ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio; HR, hazard ratio; NA, not applicable.
The combined outcome was mortality or nonelective cardiovascular hospitalization; the combined outcome and mortality alone were each associated with albuminuria in the overall cohort.
Model 1 was based on automated forward selection and was adjusted for New York Heart Association functional class and cyanosis.
Model 2 was adjusted for age, diabetes mellitus, New York Heart Association functional class, cyanosis, congenital heart disease severity, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.
Given the low absolute number of deaths (n = 17), multivariable adjustment was not performed for mortality alone.
