Unadjusted and adjusted comparisons of dp-ucMGP levels in subjects stratified according to eGFR

	Group 1	Group 2	Group 3
	eGFR (ml/min) < 60	eGFR (ml/min) = 60–89	eGFR (ml/min) ≥ 90
	Mean (95% CI)	Mean (95% CI)	Mean (95% CI)	P value
Unadjusted
Dp-ucMGP, pmol/l	953 (588–1,318)	488 (366–610)	247 (189–305)	<0.0001a,b,c
Adjusted
Dp-ucMGP, pmol/l	770 (505–1,034)	414 (324–505)	314 (247–380)	<0.0001a,b

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; dp-ucMGP, dephospho-uncarboxylated MGP; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.

^a Post-hoc P < 0.05, groups 1 vs. 3.

^b Post-hoc P < 0.05, groups 1 vs. 2.

^c Post-hoc P < 0.05, groups 2 vs. 3.
