Values expressed as hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI). Abbreviations are the same as in Table 1. Multivariate model 1: adjusted for age, gender, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Multivariate model 2: adjusted for age, gender, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg, fasting glucose, log-transformed triglyceride, total cholesterol, hemoglobin <12 g/dL, baseline eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73m2 and calcium-phosphorous product.
