- Patients were dichotomized at the median (0.3 mg/dL) of bilirubin levels. Hazard ratios for mortality in patients with lower versus higher bilirubin levels were estimated using the Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model and cause-specific hazard model. The following variables were incorporated as independent variables: age, sex, duration of diabetes mellitus, history of ASCVD, smoking, date of hemodialysis initiation, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, hemoglobin, serum albumin, logarithmically transformed triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
