Total sample size of 56 090 for prevalence estimates in general population cohorts, and 45 311 in hazard ratio estimation of KFRT. Ratios in Black compared with non-Black participants are prevalence ratios for the first 2 data columns and hazard ratios for the last 3 columns, and calculated by dividing the estimate in Black participants by the estimate in non-Black participants. Note that the ratio of 2 hazard ratios with the same reference group, eg, non-Black participants at eGFR of 80 mL/min/1.73 m2, is itself a hazard ratio. For example, 1.6 is the hazard ratio of KFRT in Black compared with non-Black participants at an eGFRcr(ASR) of 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
