  1. Hazard ratios for 0.1 mg/dL decrease in serum bilirubin levels for mortality was estimated using the Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model and cause-specific 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
