Urinary Sodium Concentration Is an Independent Predictor of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in a Type 2 Diabetes Cohort Population

Table 4

Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model for the risk of all-cause death (best fitted model).

	Adjusted; hazard ratio (95% CI)	value
Age	1.78 (1.58 to 2.01)	<0.001
Sex: (reference = men)	0.68 (0.55 to 0.84)	<0.001
Use of Insulin	1.51 (1.21 to 1.89)	<0.001
eGFR	1.16 (1.02 to 1.32)	0.03
uACR	1.30 (1.17 to 1.44)	<0.001
	0.79 (0.71 to 0.88)	<0.001
Copeptin	1.19 (1.06 to 1.33)	0.004
NT-proBNP	1.56 (1.38 to 1.75)	<0.001

Hazard ratios were standardized by calculating them for 1-SD increment of each continuous variable.
eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; uACR, urinary albumin to creatinine concentration ratio; , urinary sodium concentration; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide.
uACR, copeptin, and NT-proBNP are log-transformed.
