ACEI = Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors; ARB = Angiotensin Receptor Blockers; BB = β-blockers; CCB = Calcium Channel Blockers; DIU = Diuretics. Potentially statistically unreliable estimates with relative standard errors > 30%. use of this combination demonstrated significant increase in odds of advanced stages of CKD compared to odd of early stages, 1999 through 2012 ().
