  1. In all models either cregroup or eGFR were included in the model.
  2. *95% confidence interval
  3. **Hazard ratio associated with 1 eGFR group improvement
  4. ***Other covariates in model 2: Body mass index, previous AMI, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, wall motion index, systemic hypertension, thrombolytic therapy.
  5. ****Hazard ratio associated with an increase in age of 10 years.
