Association between high-sensitivity troponin T levels below the ninety-ninth percentile and diabetic kidney disease: A cross-sectional study

Figure 1  Study flowchart.

Figure 2 Multivariable-adjusted odds ratio for diabetic kidney disease by high-sensitivity troponin T. Age, sex, race, education, body mass index, poverty income ratio, smoking status, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, physical activity, alcohol intake, estimated glomerular filtration rate, diabetes duration, use of diabetes medications, healthy eating index, and glycated hemoglobin A1c were adjusted. Solid lines and shading represent estimates and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals, respectively. A: All population; B: Females; C: Males. hs-TnT: High-sensitivity troponin T.

Figure 3 Associations of high-sensitivity troponin T with diabetic kidney disease in various subgroups among patients with diabetes. Each stratification was adjusted for age, sex, race, education, body mass index, poverty income ratio, smoking status, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, physical activity, alcohol intake, estimated glomerular filtration rate, diabetes duration, use of diabetes medications, healthy eating index, and glycated hemoglobin A1c. The stratified variable was not included when stratifying by itself. OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; BMI: Body mass index; CVD: Cardiovascular disease; HbA1c: Glycated hemoglobin A1c.
