  1. CKD was classified according to the KDIGO clinical practice guidelines as follows: (1) no CKD defined as eGFR ≥ 60 and UACR < 30; (2) CKD G1, as eGFR ≥ 90 and UACR ≥ 30; (3) CKD G2, as eGFR between 60 and 89 and UACR ≥ 30; (4) CKD G3, as eGFR between 30 and 59 regardless of UACR
  2. CKD risk categories were defined by eGFR and UACR as follows: (1) low risk, as eGFR ≥ 60 and UACR < 30; (2) moderate risk, as (45 ≤ eGFR < 60 and UACR < 30) or (eGFR ≥ 60 and 30 ≤ UACR ≤ 300); (3) high risk, as (30 ≤ eGFR < 44 and UACR < 30) or (45 ≤ eGFR < 60 and 30 ≤ UACR ≤ 300) or (eGFR ≥ 60 and UACR > 300); (4) very high risk, as (30 ≤ eGFR < 44 and 30 ≤ UACR ≤ 300) or (30 ≤ eGFR < 60 and UACR> 300)
  3. Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, race, and treatment arm; model 2, model 1 variables plus duration of diabetes, hemoglobin A1C, cigarette smoking, alcohol intake; body mass index, total-to-HDL cholesterol, systolic BP, use of BP-lowering medications, atrial fibrillation; history of CVD (excluding stroke) at baseline; model 3, model 2 variables plus use of antiplatelet agents (including aspirin)/ anticoagulants, diuretics, ACEI/ARB.
  4. ACEI indicates angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ARB angiotensin-II receptor blockers, BP blood pressure, CKD chronic kidney disease, CI confidence interval, CVD cardiovascular disease, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, HDL high-density lipoprotein, HR hazard ratio, KDIGO Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, p-years person-years, UACR urine albumin-creatinine ratio
