A new risk scoring system for prediction of long-term mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis

Table 2 Parameter estimates in the final models and risk score

Variables	Parameter estimate in the final model	Ratio	Score
Older	0.96	2.97	3
DM	0.85	2.63	3
Hypotension	0.41	1.25	1
High CTR	0.38	1.16	1
High BNP level	0.32	1	1
ECG score = 1	0.46	1.43	1
ECG score = 2	1.52	4.69	5

Each parameter estimate in the final models was compared with the smallest parameter estimate (High BNP level). Then, the risk scores were determined.
Older 65 ≤ age, DM diabetes mellitus as a cause of end-stage renal disease, Hypotension hypotension during hemodialysis, High CTR 50 % ≤ cardiothoracic ratio, High BNP level 250 pg/mL ≤ plasma brain natriuretic peptide level, ECG score the number of abnormal findings in electrocardiogram
