  1. Model 1 = BNP alone
  2. Model 2 = Model 1 + Demographics (age, race, sex, household income, education, geographic region of residence), additional Framingham risk factors (current smoking status, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, HDL and total cholesterol) and other CVD risk factors and covariates (body mass index, log-transformed hsCRP, log-transformed ACR and medication use
  3. All models tested for interactions of NT-proBNP with age, race and gender
  4. Bold p < 0.05
  5. a Cause specific model using Lunn and McNeil approach for competing risk analyses
