Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Subsequent Risk of End-Stage Renal Disease and Mortality

TL;DR: Declines in estimated GFR smaller than a doubling of serum creatinine concentration occurred more commonly and were strongly and consistently associated with the risk of ESRD and mortality, supporting consideration of lesser declines in Estimated GFR (such as a 30% reduction over 2 years) as an alternative end point for CKD progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium density of coronary artery plaque and risk of incident cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: In this paper, the independent associations of CAC volume and CAC density with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events were determined, with an independent association with incident CHD, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.81 (95% CI, 1.47-2.6) increase, absolute risk increase 6.9 per 1000 person-years.
