NNT over 5 years = 1/(annual event rate in standard × 5 − annual event rate in intensive × 5). NNT over 10 years = 1/(annual event rate in standard × 10 − annual event rate in intensive × 10). Stage 1 CKD was defined as eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 μg/mg; stage 2 CKD was defined as eGFR between 60 and 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 μg/mg; stage ≥3 was defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 with or without albuminuria. Mild CKD included patients with stages 1 and 2 and moderate CKD included patients with stage 3 CKD. eGFR is calculated using the EPI-CKD formula.
