2. Figure 1
Prognostic cut-points derived from the multimarker analysis of the combined type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cohorts. Plots of the cumulative risk of a study outcome within 3 years in T1D patients (solid line) and T2D patients (interrupted line). Sex, age, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) 2 were included in the classification and regression tree analysis, but none surpassed the outcome separation achieved by TNFR1 and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Letters (a), (b), and (c) in each plot refer to the corresponding areas in Figure 2.

3. Figure 2
Distribution of patient outcomes in the combined study group (type 1 diabetes [T1D] and type 2 diabetes [T2D]) according to baseline values of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) 1 and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Outcomes during the 3-year follow-up are color coded according to type: end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (red), 40% baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) loss (blue), deaths unrelated to ESRD (black ×), or no event (none) (open circle). The cut-points for TNFR1 (2.9 ng/ml and 4.3 ng/ml) and ACR (1900 mg/g) shown in Figure 1 are represented by interrupted horizontal and vertical lines, respectively. The dots within the areas labeled (a), (b), and (c) represent the patients in Figure 1 plots with the corresponding labels. The gray area indicates high risk, whereas the white area indicates a low risk of the outcome. Note that the distributions of blue and red dots closely overlap.

4. Figure 3
Cumulative incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (interrupted line) and ESRD and deaths (solid line) in patients who are not eligible for a clinical trial according to the multimarker prognostic criterion. (a) Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients (n = 160) and (b) type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients (n = 142). While the incidence of ESRD and mortality was low within the first 3 years, by the 10th year of follow-up, it reached 45% and 63% in T1D and T2D patients, respectively. Overall, during the 10 years of follow-up, 48 ESRD cases occurred in the T1D cohort and 38 in the T2D cohort that were not eligible by the multimarker criterion.
