From: Mediating effect of vascular calcification in galectin-3-related mortality in hemodialysis patients
Results of mediation analysis. Both the direct effect of the galectin-3 on mortality (β = 0.0368, bootstrapped 95% CI [0.0113–0.0622]), and indirect effects through increased AoAC score (β = 0.0106, bootstrapped 95% CI [0.0015–0.0231]) and higher hsCRP levels (β = 0.0103, bootstrapped 95% CI [0.0028–0.0217]) were significant. BNP and HDL-C levels did not mediate the association between galectin-3 and mortality.
