Models are fit separately for different CKD stages.

Lab values at baseline were defined as occurring between 1 year prior to and up to 1 week after entry into CKD

P-values in bold denote statistical significance at the 0.05 alpha level.

N=number of patients or number of events.

Results were calculated using cox proportional hazards regression.
