Subgroup Analysis of FT3 and Risk of DKD Progression Stratified by Male and Female
| Subgroup | Ranges of FT3 (pmol/L) | Moderate KDIGO Risk | High or Very High KDIGO Risk | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | P value | OR (95% CI) | P value | ||
| Male | >4.78 | 1.0 | – | 1.0 | – |
| 4.31–4.78 | 1.10 (0.45–2.64) | 0.838 | 0.62 (0.24–1.61) | 0.325 | |
| ≤4.30 | 1.93 (0.74–5.04) | 0.181 | 3.66 (1.54–8.71) | 0.003 | |
| Female | >4.44 | 1.0 | – | 1.0 | – |
| 4.00–4.44 | 1.36 (0.60–3.04) | 0.461 | 1.49 (0.32–7.01) | 0.614 | |
| ≤3.99 | 2.37 (1.02–5.51) | 0.044 | 7.23 (1.72–30.34) | 0.007 | |
Notes: The levels of FT3 were divided into tri-sectional quantiles. The low KDIGO risk group and the highest tertile of FT3 were classified as the reference groups of dependent variable and independent variable, respectively. All models were adjusted for age, FBG, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C.
