Change in UACR was log-transformed before the analyses. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; UACR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

a

Using cut-off points of 10% and 20% 8-year risk.

b

Base model included age, sex, region of residence, duration of diabetes, history of macrovascular disease, smoking habit, drinking habit, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, log-transformed triglycerides, eGFR, systolic BP, log-transformed UACR at registration, 2-year change in systolic BP, randomized BP-lowering intervention, and randomized glucose control intervention.
