Figure 1 Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval for all-cause mortality and confusion matrices for reclassification from CKD-EPIcr-cys to BIS2 for individuals with and without the primary end point (all-cause mortality). HR1: unadjusted model; HR2: adjusted for age and sex; HR3: adjusted for age, sex, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and BMI. Because of the small number of patients with events in eGFR category 4, categories 3b and 4 were combined. Abbreviation: NA, not available (no patients in this category).
