Primary analysis† | 100/352 (28.4) | 109/352 (31.0) | 0.86 (0.65–1.13) |

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
