Odds ratios for progressive renal decline according to index of protection considered as a discrete covariate in (A) the combined exploratory and replication cohorts (N = 358) with both types of diabetes and impaired renal function, and (C) the validation cohort (N =294) of T1D individuals with normal renal function.
Cumulative incidence of ESRD (%) according to discrete values of index of protection in (B) the combined exploratory and replication cohorts and (D) the validation cohort. Index of protection: Value above median for each protein was scored as 1 and below as 0; by summing up these scores, an individual could have a total protection index varying between 0 (all proteins below median) and 3 (all proteins above median). *P<0.05; ****P<0.0001; ns, not significant.
