摘要
This study was based on 95391 participants (18-98 years old) from the Kailuan study, which assessed all-cause mortality in a community-based population in northern China according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula and proteinuria estimated from urine dipstick results. Data were analysed based on Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for relevant confounders, and the results were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). During eight years of follow-up, a total of 6024 participants died. The two indicators, eGFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m(2) and the presence of proteinuria, were independently associated with all-cause mortality. Compared with eGFR >= 45 ml/min/1.73 m(2) with negative proteinuria, HRs of all-cause mortality were 1.26 (95% CI 1.10-1.44) for eGFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m(2) without proteinuria, 1.95 (1.78-2.14) for eGFR <= 45 ml/min/1.73 m(2) with proteinuria, and 2.63 (2.14-3.23) for eGFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m(2) with proteinuria. The all-cause mortality risk of eGFR and/or proteinuria was much higher in females than in males (P for interaction < 0.01). In conclusion, both severely decreased eGFR and proteinuria are independent predictors of all-cause mortality in the general northern Chinese population. A combination of severely decreased eGFR and proteinuria increases the risk of all-cause mortality, which is even over 5-fold higher in females.
