Risk stratification model for diabetic kidney disease progression based on metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers

Figure 1 Forest plot of independent predictors for diabetic kidney disease progression. Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified eight independent predictors with their corresponding hazard ratios (HRs) and 95%CI. The vertical dashed line represents the null effect (HR = 1.0). Variables are ordered by the magnitude of their HRs. DKD: Diabetic kidney disease; NLR: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; TyG: Triglyceride-glucose; CRP: C-reactive protein; HbA1c: Hemoglobin A1c; eGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR: Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; HR: Hazard ratio; LASSO: Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator.
