  • Calculated by multiple regression analysis as to yearly change of eGFR to identify the baseline risk factors weighting by the square of follow-up period.

  • Calculated by multiple logistic regression analysis in contradistinction to moderate lowering group (group 2).

  • *NGSP, National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program.

  • ACR, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.
