  1. Multivariate Cox regression analysis of renal events and non-renal CVD events for the high TG/HDL-C index versus the low TG/HDL-C index using Model 4. Model 4 was adjusted for age, sex, statin treatment allocation of the EMPATHY study, body mass index, smoking, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, estimated glomerular filtration rate, log B-type natriuretic peptide, diabetic neuropathy or nephropathy, and prescribed drugs: Angiotensin II receptor blocker or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, calcium channel blocker, β-blocker, and diuretic. CVD, cardiovascular disease; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
