Figure 3.

Adjusted spline analysis for the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and cardiovascular (CV)−related mortality. Subdistributional hazard ratio and confidence intervals across different SUA levels are displayed. Black bars indicate the number of patients for different SUA levels (Q1, first quartile; M, median; Q3, third quartile). Adjustment was performed for age, sex, ethnicity, dialysis vintage, comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, CV disease, liver disease, and cancer), vascular access, lean tissue index (LTI), and fat tissue index (FTI).
