For independent variables with more than 2 categories, values and confidence intervals were adjusted with multiple comparisons using Bonferroni method.
OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; IDWG, interdialytic weight gain; TT, treatment time; nPCR, normalized protein catabolic rate; ESA, erythropoietin stimulating agent; and EDW, estimated dry weight.
