  1. aRegression coefficient (β) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) showing the estimated increase in the urine concentration of NGAL (pg/ml) corrected for urine creatinine (uNGAL/Ucr pg/mg of creatinine) predicted by 1 unit increases in the independent (predictor) variables using robust regression analysis.
