Association Between BUN/Cr and All-Cause Mortality

Association HR (95% CI) P
Unadjusted 1.8 (1.6–2.0) <0.001
Adjusted for admission eGFR 1.7 (1.5–1.9) <0.001
Adjusted for baseline characteristics* 1.3 (1.1–1.5) 0.001

BUN/Cr was analyzed as a continuous parameter and HR are per 10 increase in BUN/Cr. BUN/Cr indicates blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio; CI, confidence interval; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; and HR, hazard ratio.

Adjusted for age, race, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, preserved ejection fraction, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, loop diuretic dose, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blockers, β-blockers, digoxin, thiazide and spironolactone use, serum sodium, hemoglobin, B-type natriuretic peptide level, and admission eGFR.
