Comparing the association of GFR estimated by the CKD-EPI and MDRD study equations and mortality: the third national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES III)

Table 3 Reclassification and adjusted hazard ratios ^a of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality by eGFR categories determined using the MDRD and the CKD-EPI study equation: NHANES III (1988–1994) - follow-up till December 31, 2006

Abbreviations: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; MDRD, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study; CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; HR, Hazard Rate; CVD, cardiovascular disease; N/A, not applicable.
^a Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, prior CVD, systolic or diastolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive medications, diabetes status, smoking status, body mass index, cholesterol, CRP category and albumin-to-creatinine ratio category.
^b Numbers represent crude (un-weighted) participant number.
^c Percent represents the population percent representative of the non-institutionalized US population; total may not equal 100% due to rounding.
^d HR not presented as there are less than 30 people in the cell.
