Slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate decline in pooled population with sickle cell disease and stratified according to sex. The change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time for all patients was -2.06 mL/min/1.73 m per year (95% CI: -2.36, -1.77; P<0.0001), for female patients -1.86 mL/min/1.73 m per year (95% CI: -2.25, -1.48; P<0.0001), and for male patients -2.33 mL/min/1.73 m per year (95% CI: -2.80, -1.87; P<0.0001).
