HR, hazard ratio; 95% CI, confidence interval; NS, not significant; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.

a

Indicates the variables that were not tested in the multivariable model.

b

Calculated with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula.

c

Banff scores (0, no significant lesion; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe).

d

Sum of the Banff scores for glomerulitis and capillaritis.

e

MFI of the standard IgG detection assay. Variables at the P level <0.05 in the univariate model were incorporated into the multivariable model.
