Kaplan–Meier curves for renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients without anemia (A, C) and patients with anemia at baseline (B, D). Patients who died within 90 days of the index date were not included in outcomes analyses. Baseline anemia was defined as Hb < 10 g/dL, determined from the lowest available Hb level within 6 months of the index date. CKD chronic kidney disease, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, Hb hemoglobin, hHF hospitalization for heart failure, hUA hospitalization for unstable angina, MACE major adverse cardiovascular events, MACE+ first occurrence of MACE outcome, hUA or hHF, MI myocardial infarction
