ALB and heart failure: Comparing cases to control-1s in the final model (model 4), lower body mass index, CAD, heart failure, longer vintage, catheter access, more missed treatments due to hospitalization, lower dialysate potassium, higher ESA dosing, and nPCR2 (quadratic) were associated with increased CPA odds; and higher BMI, albumin, hemoglobin, and nPCR were associated with decreased CPA odds (Table 5).
