“…The subgroup analyses were conducted using a stratified Cox proportional-hazards regression model across various subgroups (gender, age, UA, ALB, BMI, SBP, and DBP). Continuous variables such as age (<60 and ≥60 years old), UA (<420μmol/L and ≥420μmol/L), ALB (<30g/L and ≥30g/L), BMI (<25 and ≥25kg/m 2 ), SBP (<140 and ≥140 mmHg), DBP (<90 and ≥90 mmHg) [15][16][17] were transformed to a categorical variable based on the clinical cut point. Then, we adjusted each stratification for all factors (Models were adjusted for age, gender, BMI, SBP, DBP, ALT, AST, BUN, TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-c, Scr, UA, CysC, TP, ALB, K, CA, P, HbA1c, 24h UP, and 24h UAlb, but not adjusted for stratification variables in each model).…”
