After adjusting for age, gender, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, previous CVD, PD duration, total Kt/V, serum albumin, and LDL-c, multivariate Cox regression analysis presented the baseline AACS as an independent predictor of MACCE (Medium AACS group vs. Low AACS group: HR 2.976, 95% CI 1.420–6.238, P = 0.004; High AACS group vs. Low AACS group: HR 3.455, 95% CI 1.734–6.881, P < 0.001; Table 5). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
