What is the hierarchy of outcomes in the study?
The hierarchy of outcomes in the study was Mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, ESRD, graft failure (high importance), doubling of SCr or halving of GFR (moderate importance), change in TC, LDL-C, or HDL-C or TGs (moderate importance), and adverse events (importance dependent on severity). Abbreviations: ESRD, end-stage renal disease; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SCr, serum creatinine; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
