Treatment groups by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) estimates: (A-C) all participants (n = 10,060), and (D-F) the subgroup of participants with baseline GFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 1,557). Abbreviation: ESRD, end-stage renal disease. To convert GFR in mL/min/1.73 m2 to mL/s/1.73 m2, multiply by 0.01667.
