Values expressed as unstandardized coefficient βand 95% confidence interval (CI). Abbreviations are the same as in Table 1. Covariates in the multivariate model included age, sex, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, mean artery pressure, uric acid, fasting glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, hematocrit, eGFR and medications use.
