Number of new cases (), adjusted hazards ratios (HR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated from multivariate Cox regression model for chronic kidney disease and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for new occurrence of kidney failure and urinary tract cancer from multivariable logistic regression models on a random sample of the National Health Insurance database followed from 1997–2002.

Hazards ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) obtained from Cox proportional hazards regression models with all variables (sex, age, hypertension, diabetes, cumulative dosage of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, Mu Xiang, Mu-Tong, and Fangchi) fitted simultaneously. bMultivariable odds ratios were adjusted for potential confounders (sex, age, hypertension, diabetes, chronic hepatitis, chronic urinary tract infection, chronic neuralgia, musculoskeletal disease, cumulative dosage of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, Mu Xiang, Mu-Tong, and Fangchi) fitted simultaneously. cMultivariable odds ratios were adjusted for potential confounders (sex, age, hypertension, diabetes, residence in township where black foot disease was endemic, chronic urinary tract infection, Mu Xiang, Mu-Tong, and Fangchi) fitted simultaneously. |
