All-cause mortality as a competing risk. #Kidney transplantation or hemodialysis as a competing event risk. Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, CCI, current smoking, current drinking, ACEI/ARB use, β-blocker use, and statin use. Model 3: model 2 adjusted for serum albumin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, serum uric acid, hs-CRP, NT-pro-BNP, and eGFR. CVD: cardiovascular disease; MLR: monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio; CCI: Charlson comorbidity index; ACEI/ARB: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; NT-pro-BNP: N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. |
