Association of TSAT and serum iron with anemia after 1 year in patients without anemia.
| Variable | Normal TSAT | Low TSAT | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal iron | Low iron | Normal iron | Low iron | |
| Number of patients | 1040 | 202 | 50 | 329 |
| Odds ratio for Hb < 11 g/dL after 1 year | ||||
| Unadjusted | 1 (reference) | 2.48 (1.69–3.66)* | 1.89 (0.78–4.59) | 3.21 (2.09–4.93)* |
| Model 1 | 1 (reference) | 2.42 (1.58–3.71)* | 1.20 (0.44–3.23) | 2.76 (1.72–4.44)* |
| Model 2 | 1 (reference) | 2.49 (1.62–3.85)* | 1.22 (0.45–3.31) | 2.76 (1.71–4.45)* |
| Model 3 | 1 (reference) | 1.69 (1.00–2.83)* | 1.43 (0.50–4.62) | 1.94 (1.11–3.40)* |
Model 1 adjusts for Age, Gender, eGFR, UPCR log.
Model 2 adjusts for covariates in model 1 plus Diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular disease, Severe liver disease, Cancer, Mean BP, and Body mass index.
Model 3 adjusts for covariates in model 2 plus baseline Hemoglobin, Albumin, CRP log, Ferritin Log, and Phosphorus.
