Baseline and longitudinal associations of CKD status with carotid plaque occurrence and plaque morphology. Panel a. Results of separate logistic regression models relating CKD status with MWT > 1.5 mm, NC+ plaque or Ca + plaque adjusted for age, gender, race, CVD history, statin use, and Framingham risk score group in all 465 participants. Panel b: Results of separate ordinal logistic regression models relating CKD status with categories of <− 20, − 20% to 20, > 20% longitudinal change in the given plaque type adjusted for age, gender, race, CVD history, statin use, Framingham risk score group and BP intervention arm, stratified by MRI site. Model 1 included all 323 participants with data, model 2 included 96 participants with NC+ plaque at baseline and model 3 included 147 participants with Ca + plaque at baseline. All models included only participants with non-missing quantitative follow-up MRI
