Urine albumin dipstick independently predicts cardiovascular and renal outcomes among rural Thai population: a 14-year retrospective cohort study

Table 2 Clinical outcomes according to urine albumin status

	Urine albumin status			P-value
	Normoalbuminuria	Microalbuminuria	Macroalbuminuria	P-value
Primary Composite Outcomes	59 (13.1%)	32 (20.6%)	11 (39.3%)	< 0.001
Cardiovascular events (ischemic heart disease, HF, PVD, stroke and cardiovascular death)	48 (10.6%)	22 (14.2%)	7 (25%)	0.051
Renal events (ESRD, dialysis and renal death)	19 (4.2%)	8 (5.2%)	7 (25%)	< 0.001
Overall mortality	70 (15.5%)	22 (14.2%)	8 (28.6%)	0.151

Primary composite outcome includes cardiovascular or renal morbidity and mortality. International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD-10) codes were identified in the hospital database to collect the outcome from EMR. Cardiovascular event was defined as ICD-I00 to ICD-I52 or ICD-I60 to ICD-I69. Renal event was defined as ICD-N00 to N19 or eGFR lower than 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or initiation of renal replacement therapy
HF Heart failure, PVD Peripheral vascular disease, ESRD End-stage renal disease
