Mortality (all cause and cardiovascular) according to clot density (higher versus lower clot density)
| Clot Density | Model 1a | Model 2b | Model 3c | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | P Value | HR (95% CI) | P Value | HR (95% CI) | P Value | |
| All cause | ||||||
| FT<0.32 | 1.0 (reference) | 1.0 (reference) | 1.0 (reference) | |||
| FT≥0.32 | 2.54 (1.31 to 4.91) | <0.01 | 2.36 (1.21 to 4.61) | 0.01 | 2.55 (1.23 to 5.33) | 0.01 |
| Cardiovascular | ||||||
| FT<0.32 | 1.0 (reference) | 1.0 (reference) | 1.0 (reference) | |||
| FT≥0.32 | 3.02 (1.39 to 6.53) | <0.01 | 2.80 (1.28 to 6.14) | 0.01 | 3.20 (1.35 to 7.60) | <0.01 |
HR was calculated with Cox proportional hazard models. FT, final turbidity.
a
Model 1: crude.
b
Model 2: adjustment for age, diabetes, sex, and duration of dialysis.
c
Model 3: adjustment for CRP, C3, and fibrinogen.
