  1. CI confidence interval, CKD chronic kidney disease
  2. aModel 1: Sex, age, smoking, cancer, diabetes, bone fracture, and gastrointestinal bleeding were added
  3. bModel 2: The estimated glomerular filtration rate, urea nitrogen level, urinary protein level, calcium level, albumin level, body mass index, and reticulocyte count were added
  4. cModel 3: The serum iron level, total iron-binding capacity, ferritin level, C-reactive protein level, and white blood cell count were added
