Hazard Ratios for Black Versus White Race From Cox Proportional Hazard Models

	Unadjusted model		Adjusted model*
	HR (95% CI)	P value	HR (95% CI)	P value
Death	1.34 (1.17–1.52)	<0.001	1.01 (0.87–1.16)	0.92
CVD composite	1.65 (1.44–1.88)	<0.001	1.25 (1.08–1.45)	0.002
CKD progression	2.14 (1.88–2.43)	<0.001	1.56 (1.36–1.79)	<0.001
Hemoglobin decline	1.86 (1.66–2.09)	<0.001	1.44 (1.27–1.64)	<0.001

CKD progression is the composite of either a 50% or larger decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline or reaching end‐stage renal disease. CVD composite is the composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease, or congestive heart failure. Hemoglobin decline is the hemoglobin decline over time measured using a binary indicator for having a below‐normal final hemoglobin value (<11.7 g/dL for women or <12.4 g/dL for men). CKD indicates chronic kidney disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; and HR, hazard ratio.
