Multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors associated with pulmonary hypertension (backward method)

	OR	95% CI	P
Hemodialysis	3.35	1.59–7.03	0.003
Hypertension	3.42	0.77–15.22	0.106
SVCS≥3	2.68	1.22–5.86	0.013
Left atrial diameter (cm/m2)	11.39	10.40–12.47	0.005
MV disease	7.79	1.88–32.20	0.005

Excluded variables: age, ischemic heart disease, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, left ventricular mass index, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

CI, confidence interval; MV, mitral valve; OR, odds ratio; SVCS, simple vascular calcification score.
