For infectious mortality, only presence of cardiovascular disease [hazard ratio (HR) 2.367, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.391–4.029, P = 0.001] and lower serum albumin level (HR 0.593, 95% CI 0.367–0.957, P = 0.032) showed statistical significance in multivariate Cox model. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is cardiovascular disorder.
