For the base-case model of traditional risk factors, no cases were excluded. For the overall multivariable model, 43 cases were omitted due to missing data. BMI: body mass index; CKD-MBD: chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate (note: estimated glomerular filtration was calculated using the CKD-EPI (CKD Epidemiology Collaboration) formula); LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; SBP: systolic blood pressure; UACR: urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
