Among the subgroups by eGFR trends, subjects with a decreased eGFR trend had a significantly higher risk of AF in those with the highest eGFR variability (Q4), whereas those with maintained eGFR or increased eGFR trends showed a trend for increased risk of AF in those with the highest eGFR variability (Q4).

For the subgroups of age strata, an increasing trend for developing AF risk was observed in older subjects (adjusted HR 1.030, 95% CI 0.919–1.155 for 20–39 years; adjusted HR 1.078, 95% CI 1.032–1.126 for 40–64 years; and adjusted HR 1.168, 95% CI 1.082–1.260 for ≥65 years, where Q1–3 of each age stratum served as a reference, p-for-interaction = 0.0153).
On subgroup analyses, Q4 in males or those with a decreasing trend of eGFR had significantly increased risks of incident AF compared to Q1 (HR 1.127, 95% CI 1.082–1.175; and HR 1.115, 95% CI 1.059–1.173, respectively).
