  1. Data are odds ratio (OR) with respective 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value
  2. Abbreviations: CHD coronary heart disease, CABG coronary artery bypass grafting, PAD peripheral artery disease, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate according to CKD-EPI formula, AKI acute kidney injury, CKD chronic kidney disease
  3. apositive response to “Have you ever been told by a doctor/health care provider that your kidney function is impaired, e.g. not as good as it would be expected?”; analyses based on n = 474 patients in whom data on the kidney module were available (see Methods)
  4. bMultivariable model of backward selection, included are variables with significant (p < 0.05) association in univariable analysis; p for exclusion 0.05; non-significant associations displayed italic with OR (95% CI) and p-value when variable left the model. Order of exclusion: (1) ACR; (2) history of PAD; (3) duration of CHD; (4) age
