SUA: serum uric acid; Scr: serum creatinine; Q: quartiles; SD: standard deviation; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; CAPD: continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Model 5: sensitivity analysis using competing risk model; model 6: sensitivity analysis excluding individuals less than 2 years follow-up (n = 360); model 7: sensitivity analysis excluding individuals with diuretic or statin therapy at baseline (n = 401); models 5–7 were fully adjusted for age, sex, BMI, DM, hypertension, centers, protopathy, hemoglobin, serum albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, hs-CRP, and medicine use (including CCB, α-blocker, β-blocker, ACEI/ARB, diuretic, statin, and aspirin).
