Data was evaluated by bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis and are presented as odds ratio (95% confidence interval) per unit increase of exposure variable. Variables included in multivariate logistic regression analysis were previously associated with chronic kidney disease in bivariate logistic regression analysis () and consisted of use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin antagonist, use of statin, and use of acetylsalicylic acid (AAS).
