Abstract

Background We examined whether atorvastatin affects diabetic kidney disease and whether the effect of atorvastatin on cardiovascular disease (CVD) varies by kidney status in patients with diabetes. Study design The Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS) randomized placebo-controlled trial. Setting & participants Patients with type 2 diabetes and no prior CVD (n = 2,838). Intervention Random allocation to atorvastatin, 10 mg/d, or placebo, with a median follow-up of 3.9 years. Outcomes Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria, CVD. Measurements Baseline and follow-up GFRs were estimated by using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation. Urinary albumin-creatinine ratio was measured on spot urine samples. Results At baseline, 34% of patients had an eGFR of 30 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2). Atorvastatin treatment was associated with a modest improvement in annual change in eGFR (net, 0.18 mL/min/1.73 m(2)/y; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.04 to 0.32; P = 0.01) that was most apparent in those with albuminuria (net improvement, 0.38 mL/min/1.73 m(2)/y; P = 0.03). At baseline, 21.5% of patients had albuminuria and an additional 6.8% developed albuminuria during follow-up. Atorvastatin did not influence the incidence of albuminuria (hazard ratio, 1.49; 95% CI, 0.73 to 3.04; P = 0.3) or regression to normoalbuminuria (hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.57 to 2.49; P = 0.6). In 970 patients with a moderately decreased eGFR of 30 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2),…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
