Fig. 3

Forest plot showing the adjusted hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval of the association between proteinuria measures and the primary outcome. The association between the three baseline measures of proteinuria and the primary composite outcome shown for all patients, CKD (non-transplant) patients and transplant patients. The multivariable model for “all patients” is adjusted for baseline age, eGFR, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The model stratified by transplant status includes age, eGFR, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and the interaction term between transplant status and the measure of proteinuria. The p- value for the interaction term is shown. The diamonds represent the HR and the horizontal bars the 95% CI. UPCR = urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, Pts = patients, UACR = urine albumin-to- creatinine ratio, 24 h = 24-h protein excretion, HR = Hazard ratio, CI = confidence intervals, eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate
