Samples were available from 2627 individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease that were randomized to receive canagliflozin or placebo and were followed up for incident cardio-renal events. Primary outcome was defined as a composite of end-stage kidney disease, doubling of the serum creatinine level, or renal/cardiovascular death. IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 were measured at baseline, Year-1 and Year-3. Elevated IGF-1 level was defined according to age-specific cutoffs. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to investigate the association between IGF-1 level, IGFBP-3, and the ratio of IGF-1/IGFBP-3 with clinical outcomes.
