Popis: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) targets for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes remain controversial. To evaluate whether baseline HbA1c and HbA1c trajectories are associated with the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and all-cause mortality, we recruited adult patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes from a “Pre-ESKD Program” at a medical center in Taiwan from 2003 to 2017. Group-based trajectory modeling was performed to identify distinct patient groups that contained patients with similar longitudinal HbA1c patterns. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of ESKD and mortality associated with baseline HbA1c levels and HbA1c trajectories. In the analysis related to baseline HbA1c (n = 4543), the adjusted HRs [95% confidence interval (CI)] of all-cause mortality were 1.06 (0.95–1.18) and 1.25 (95% CI, 1.07–1.46) in patients with an HbA1c level of 7%–9% (53–75 mmol/mol) and >9% (>75 mmol/mol), respectively, as compared with those with an HbA1c level < 7% (
