Dose-response plot of the baseline HbA1c and adjusted hazard ratios for (A) progression to end-stage kidney disease and (B) all-cause mortality according to baseline HbA1c (%). Solid lines represent adjusted hazard ratios based on restricted cubic splines for baseline HbA1c, with knots at the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles. Shaded areas represent the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals. The reference was set at the 10th percentile of HbA1c levels. Variables adjusted are the same as that shown in Model 3 presented in Table 2. Missing values were imputed by multiple imputation.
