Association between hemoglobin levels and anuria. Covariates in multivariable adjustment models were as follows: age, sex, time since starting PD, hypertension, urine output at baseline, weekly ESA dose; DM, BMI, history of myocardial infarction, history of stroke, total Kt/V, and smoking (Model 1, a demographic model); Model 1 + TSAT, and ferritin (Model 2, + iron indices); Model 2 + phosphorus, calcium, and intact PTH (Model 3, + CKD-MBD markers); Model 3 + CRP and history of peritonitis (Model 4, + inflammation); Model 4 + albumin and total cholesterol (Model 5, nutritional indices). HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; ESA, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent; ERI, ESA resistance index; PD, peritoneal dialysis; DM, diabetes mellitus; BMI, body mass index; TSAT, transferrin saturation; PTH, parathyroid hormone; CKD-MBD, chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder; CRP, C-reactive protein.
