Note: CIF indicates cumulative incidence of event at median length of follow-up for each outcome. Median length of follow-up was 3.61 years for the primary CVD outcome, 3.75 years for all-cause mortality, 3.73 years for the composite of the primary CVD outcome and all-cause mortality, and 3.55 years for a 30% decline in eGFR. Primary CVD outcome includes nonfatal myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome not resulting in a myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, nonfatal acute decompensated heart failure, and death from cardiovascular causes. Renal outcome reflects ≥30% reduction in eGFR from baseline, measured twice at least 90 days apart. Hazard ratios reflect a comparison of the intensive treatment group vs standard treatment group based on Fine and Gray subdistribution hazard model accounting for the competing risk of death (for outcomes not including all-cause mortality), and Cox proportional hazards regression for outcomes including all-cause mortality.
