As shown in Table 4, long dialysis vintage (p = 0.006, OR = 2.25), the presence of diabetes (p = 0.037, OR = 1.81), low serum albumin levels (p = 0.047, OR = 0.54), high serum calcium levels (p = 0.046, OR = 2.04) and pulse pressure (p < 0.001, OR = 3.22) were independent risk factors for CVC in ESKD patients. Here, ALB is linked to diabetes mellitus.
