Data are n (%). Percentages might not sum to 100% because of rounding. The numbers of people in each category have been rounded to the nearest five people to comply with information governance rules. Cells marked NA (not available) indicate that data for a small number of people (one to four) are not shown to comply with information governance rules. eGFR=estimated glomerular filtration rate.

*

Including Vietnamese, Japanese, Filipino, Malaysian, and any other ethnicity.

Defined as a previous myocardial infarction, stroke, hospital admission for heart failure, or eGFR less than 60 mL/min per 1·73 m2.
