From: Increased Risk of Infection-Related and All-Cause Death in Hypercalcemic Patients Receiving Hemodialysis: The Q-Cohort Study

Figure 2

Multivariable-adjusted spline plots of hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for infection-related death according to albumin-corrected serum calcium level. Solid line: hazard ratios; dotted lines: 95% confidence intervals. The multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard risk model was adjusted for age, sex, presence of diabetic nephropathy, history of cardiovascular disease, dialysis vintage, dialysis time per session, dialysate calcium concentration, normalized protein catabolic rate, Kt/V for urea, serum levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, total cholesterol, albumin, C-reactive protein, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and PTH, and use of vitamin D receptor activators and calcium-based phosphate-binders.
