Decision curves analyses for the 4- and 8-variable KFREs at 2- and 5-years. The decision curves show that the both the 4- and 8-variable KFREs produced the highest net benefit for patients at 40% ESRD risk at 2-years and 50% ESRD risk at 5-years when compared to using eGFR thresholds of < 20 ml/min/1.73m2 and < 15 ml/min/1.73m2. Abbreviations: eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), in ml/min/1.73m2; KFRE (Kidney Failure Risk Equation)
