Comparison of AUC values among various nutritional parameters for survival in peritoneal dialysis patients. The AUC values of prealbumin (0.705), hs-CRP (0.651), %LBM (0.644), and Cr (0.603) were statistically significantly larger than 0.5, which represents the chance of discrimination. Moreover, the AUC value of prealbumin for mortality was the largest among the parameters.

AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; Cr, creatinine; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; %LBM, percent lean body mass; nPCR, normalized protein catabolic rate; T-cholesterol, total cholesterol.
