  1. Note: The magnitude in rates of eGFR decline of the group with GSG abnormal for age was expressed as changes of ml/min/1.73 m2 per year compared to the group with GSG normal for age.
  2. aModel 1 was not adjusted for other variables.
  3. bModel 2 was adjusted for sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, age, body mass index, baseline eGFR, and baseline 24 hr urine protein.
  4. cModel 3 was adjusted for Model 2 variables plus the Oxford classification, e.g. M, E, S, T (T0 or T1–2), and C (C0 or C1-2), and immunosuppressive therapy.
  5. dP < 0.05; e P < 0.010.
  6. Abbreviation: GSG, globally sclerotic glomeruli; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
