Patients with both type 1 diabetes and CKD have an increased risk of adverse outcomes.
The competing risks of death and ESRD may confound the estimates of risk for each
outcome. Here, we sought to determine the major predictors of the cumulative incidence of
ESRD and pre-ESRD mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes and macroalbuminuria while
incorporating the competing risk for the alternate outcome into a Fine-Gray competing-risks
analysis. We followed 592 patients with macroalbuminuria for a median of 9.9 years. During …
