Sexual Effect of Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Predicting Cardiovascular Mortality of Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Table 4

Interaction tests of PLR and gender and mortality, and the sexual difference in the associations between PLR and mortality.

Variables	HR	All-cause mortality		HR	Cardiovascular mortality
		95% CI	value		95% CI	value
Interaction analysis	For mortality in entire cohort
	PLR × gender
Female ()
PLR	1.002	1.000-1.003	0.098	1.003	1.001-1.006	0.008
Male ()
PLR	1.000	0.998-1.001	0.562	1.000	0.998-1.001	0.623

All the models were adjusted for age, history of CVD, diabetic status, hemoglobin, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, platelet inhibitor, and β-blockers. Abbreviations: PLR: the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio.
