Abbreviations: CKD, chronic kidney disease; CKD-EPICYS, cystatin C–based CKD-EPI eGFR; CKD-EPIRC, creatinine-based CKD-EPI eGFR calculated with the race coefficient; CKD-EPIWRC, creatinine-based CKD-EPI eGFR calculated without the race coefficient; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.

a

Includes all participants with an eGFR (CKD-EPIRC) of at least 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 at study entry.

b

Difference in incidence rates per 100 person-years without minus with the race coefficient.

c

Instantaneous risk of an eGFR less than 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 associated with use of the race coefficient.

d

P < .001.

e

P = .85.
