ORs and 95% CIs for the presence of sarcopenia in 330 incident dialysis patients
| Parameter | OR (95% CI) | P |
|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 0.001 | |
| Age>60 yr | 2.85 (1.42 to 5.74) | 0.003 |
| Men | 1.56 (0.76 to 3.18) | 0.22 |
| Diabetes mellitus, presence | 1.05 (0.51 to 2.19) | 0.89 |
| CVD, presence | 1.48 (0.72 to 3.05) | 0.29 |
| GFR<7 ml/min/1.73 m2 | 1.40 (0.71 to 2.74) | 0.33 |
| Inflammation, CRP>10 mg/L | 1.40 (0.65 to 2.99) | 0.39 |
| Serum albumin>3.3 g/dl | 0.46 (0.21 to 0.98) | 0.04 |
| PEW, SGA>1 | 5.66 (2.81 to 11.4) | 0.001 |
Pseudo r2=0.20. eGFR and albumin were categorized according to median value in the study group. PEW was estimated by means of SGA. OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; CRP, C-reactive protein; SGA, subjective global assessment.
