Differences in eGFR expressed as a fraction of patients with available data.

eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; HRCA, high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, defined as either of Gain1q, translocation 4;14, deletion 17p, translocation 14;20; iMiD, immunomodulatory drugs; PI, proteasome inhibitor.
