ALB and Hypertension: The multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that NS status (p= .387) at baseline was not associated with 1.5-year all-cause mortality on PD adjusting for BMI (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.71–0.98; p= .031), serum creatinine (HR, 0.997; 95% CI, 0.994–1.000; p= .028), serum albumin levels at baseline (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.61–0.96; p= .022), age, and hypertension (Table 3).
