  1. eGFR: Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate; CKD-EPI: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; MDRD: Modification of diet in renal disease; MPR: Medication Possession Ratio; COX-2: cyclooxygenase 2; aIn the multivariable model, continuous variables such as baseline eGFR, age, MPR, and average CRP were centered by subtracting their mean values.
