ACR—albumin-to-creatinine ratio, PPV—positive predictive value.
↵* True positive: a positive urine ACR result was followed by another positive urine ACR result or by 1 negative and 1 positive urine ACR result in 120 days.
↵† False positive: a positive urine ACR result was followed by 2 negative urine ACR results in 120 days.
↵‡ Exclusions: a positive urine ACR result was followed by a negative urine ACR result but a third value was not available.
