Notes: ^aUnadjusted model. ^bAdjusted for age, gender, body mass index. ^cAdjusted for model 2 covariates and Charlson comorbidity index, hemoglobin, corrected calcium, phosphorus, total cholesterol, triglycerides, hs-CRP, total Kt/V and residual renal function. ^dPer unit increment in NPAR levels. P<0.05 is considered statistically significant.

Abbreviations: HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
