Table 2. Multi-factorial binary logistic regression analysis of CVD risk factors in the 64 HD patients after two years of hemodialysis, before the five-years follow-up.

Variable	B(β)	HR	P	95% CI
IL-6	0.376	1.456	0.014	1.078~1.967

Nb: a Method: Forward: Conditional

b constant is included in the model

c Initial -2 Log Likelihood: 49.589

d Estimation terminated at iteration number 5 because parameter estimates changed by less than 0.001.

B means partial regression coefficient, age, Qa and HsCRP did not enter into equation.
