Table 3 Threshold effect analysis of NPAR on all-cause and CVD mortality.

From: Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio is associated with all cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in chronic kidney disease based on NHANES 2001–2018

  1. Adjusted for: age, gender, race, education level, PIR, marital status, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, AST, ALT, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
  2. NPAR neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio, CVD cardiovascular disease, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, PIR poverty-income ratio, AST aspartate transaminase, ALT alanine transaminase.
