Cox proportional hazard models were adjusted for 20 literature-based covariates: age, sex, body mass index, activities of daily living, current smoking, systolic blood pressure, prior history of AVE and diabetes, laboratory data of albumin, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, calcium-phosphate product, intact parathyroid hormone, erythropoietin resistance index, single-pool Kt/V urea nitrogen, medication status of antihypertensive drugs, antilipemic drugs, calcium-containing phosphate binders, dialysis prescription of therapy time per session, and quantity of blood flow per minute. Of these 20 factors, we selected eight confounders for assessing model performance (Table 3) or other statistical analyses. We confirmed that the HRs were consistent across models, adjusting for 8 or all 20 variables.

SPP, skin perfusion pressure; ABI, ankle-brachial index; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; T1, 1st tertile; T2, 2nd tertile; T3, 3rd tertile; AVE, atherosclerotic vascular event.
