Table 4.

Adjusted hazard ratios for death at 180 days for the component variables of hemoconcentration.

	HR (CI)	p
delta HCT	0.58 (0.27-1.03)	0.084
delta ALB	0.33 (0.11-0.97)	0.026*
delta TP	0.14 (0.04-0.50)	<0.001*
Two of Three	0.16 (0.04-0.58)	0.001*

CI: Confidence interval, delta ALB: Baseline to discharge change in albumin, delta HCT: Baseline to discharge change in hematocrit, delta TP: Baseline to discharge change in total protein, HR: Hazard ratio. All HR are after adjustment baseline characteristics (GFR, loop diuretic dose, sodium, age, ischemic etiology, idiopathic etiology, significant ascites, severe edema, jugular venous distention greater than 12cm water, respiratory rate, ACE / ARB use, and fatigue at rest).
