Table 4.
Mortality (all cause and cardiovascular) according to clot density (clot density as continuous variable)
| 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 | 73.7 (4.7 to 1154) | <0.01 | 24.3 (1.5 to 399) | 0.03 | 48.1 (1.6 to 1459) | 0.03 |
| Cardiovascular | 67.9 (3.0 to 1545) | <0.01 | 16.7 (0.7 to 376) | 0.08 | 29.7 (0.6 to 1382) | 0.08 |
HR was calculated with Cox proportional hazard models.
a
Crude.
b
Adjusted for age, diabetes, sex, and duration of dialysis.
c
Model 2 with adjustment for CRP, C3, and fibrinogen.
