  1. In addition to age, gender, hemodialysis duration, and diabetic nephropathy, possible factors that showed P less than 0.15 in univariate analysis such as Kt/V, β2-microglobulin, protein catabolic rate, creatinine generation rate, hemoglobin, platelet, albumin, uric acid, mean sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, and mean interdialytic weight gain were chosen in full-model analysis
  2. Final model analysis was done with age, gender, hemodialysis duration, diabetic nephropathy, and the variables with P less than 0.1 in full-model analysis such as β2-microglobulin, creatinine generation rate, hemoglobin, mean sodium, calcium, and phosphate
  3. DN diabetic nephropathy, HD duration hemodialysis duration, β 2 M cumulative mean predialysis β2-microglobulin, CGR creatinine generation rate, HR hazard ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval
