Kaplan–Meier survival curves showing the six-week permanent catheter survival for patients in the patent and non-patent groups using the cut-off values obtained for significant body composition monitoring parameters by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. (a) ECW/ICW ratio (n = 124) log-rank χ2 = 7.797 p = 0.005, (b) LTI (n = 124) log-rank χ2 = 7.425 p = 0.006 (c) FTI (n = 124) log-rank χ2 = 2.233 p = 0.135. ECW: extracellular water; ICW: intracellular water; LTI: lean tissue index; FTI: fat tissue index.
