Fig. 2

Combined influence of baseline Hb levels and IFTA status on the risks of the outcomes. (a) Multivariable-adjusted HR and 95 % CI for the development of renal composite events. *p < 0.05 vs. the highest tertile of Hb and mild IFTA group. **p < 0.01 vs. the highest tertile of Hb and mild IFTA group. (b) Multivariable-adjusted HR and 95 % CI for the development of all-cause mortality. *p < 0.05 vs. the highest tertile of Hb and mild IFTA group. Adjusted for baseline clinical covariates (age, gender, estimated glomerular filtration rate, presence of albuminuria [proteinuria], HbA1c, and systolic blood pressure) and pathological covariates excluding IFTA. Abbreviations: Hb, hemoglobin; HR, hazard ratio; IFTA, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy
