Kaplan–Meier survival curves of intima-media thickness (IMT), total CD19(+) B cells, CD19(+)CD5(+) B cells, and CD19(+)CD5(−) B cells in the total cohort (A, C, E, G) and CKD group (B, D, F, H). IMT, total CD19(+) B cells, CD19(+)CD5(+) B cells, and CD19(+)CD5(−) B cells were divided into two groups (low and high) according to the optimal cutoff points, IMT: low: ≤1.0 cm and high: > 1.0 cm; total CD19(+) B cells: low: ≤0.06 × 109 /L and high: > 0.06 × 109 /L; CD19(+)CD5(+) B cells: low: ≤0.03 × 109 /L and high: > 0.03 × 109 /L; CD19(+)CD5(−) B cells: low: ≤0.05 × 109 /L and high: > 0.05 × 109 /L.
