Similarly, the same four variables were also highly significant independent predictors of eGFR decline (defined as 50% reduction from the baseline eGFR) in our cohort (Model 2): baseline eGFR [HR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.98–0.99, p = 1.6*10 −8 ], serum albumin [HR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.35–0.62, p = 2.7*10 −7 ], hemoglobin [HR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.75–0.89, p = 1.5*10 −6 ], and SBP [HR = 1.02, 95% CI 1.00–1.03, p = 6.4*10 −3 ].
