The primary composite outcome was death or end-stage kidney disease in patients with severe ANCA-associated vasculitis. CI denotes confidence interval.

The primary analysis was adjusted with the use of a model fitted with trial-group assignments and minimization strata as covariates.

The partially adjusted analysis used a model fitted only with trial-group assignments as covariates
