Abstract
-ratio <0.70, the adjusted SPS death risk in the total cohort (HR 3.0, 95% CI 2.4-3.7) was clearly higher than that for the other diagnosis groups. In a sub-cohort of 1300 persons with or without diagnosis, but with normal mGFR, the all-cause mortality of SPS was markedly increased (HR 4.1, 95% CI 2.6-6.5). In a sub-cohort of 567 persons with normal mGFR and no diagnosis, the all-cause mortality of SPS was even more increased (HR 7.3, 95% CI 2.3-23). The prevalence of SPS in the total cohort was 23% and in the sub-cohorts 17 and 12%, respectively. As SPS is associated with a high mortality, occurs in the absence of reduced mGFR and albuminuria, it expands the spectrum of kidney disorders.
