Table 4.
Competing risk analysis for death, with censoring for dropout because of transfer to hemodialysis or transplantation.
| Parameter | Subdistribution Hazard Ratio | Lower 95% CI | Upper 95% CI | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relative volume overload | Relative volume overload >17.3% | 1.59 | 1.08 | 2.33 | 0.02 |
| Age | per 1 year | 1.06 | 1.04 | 1.07 | <0.001 |
| Cardiovascular disease | Yes | 1.86 | 1.29 | 2.68 | <0.001 |
| Liver disease | Yes | 2.11 | 1.14 | 3.90 | 0.02 |
| Diabetes | Yes | 1.49 | 1.04 | 2.15 | 0.03 |
Participants with dropout before month 1 (n=44) were excluded from this analysis. Volume overload is defined as relative volume overload >17.3% (75th percentile of the cohort). 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
