We report frequency (as %) for categorical variables and median (IQR) for continuous variables

CKD stages are defined according to ranges of eGFR in ml min−1 [1.73 m]−2: G1: >90; G2: 60–90; G3: 30–60

Participants at stage G4 (eGFR = 15–30; n = 2) are not reported as a separate column

ACEi, ACE inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker
