Dementia risk for hemodialysis duration as a stratified variable. The dementia risk for hemodialysis duration was analyzed as a stratified variable using the multifactor model. The multifactor model included the following factors as independent variables: hemodialysis duration, age, sex, comorbidity of diabetes, Kt/V, BMI, albumin level, CRP level, hemoglobin level, history of myocardial infarction, limb amputation, or hip fracture, ADLs, and place of residence. Please note that the X axis is a log-linear plot. a The target patients of the analysis were only the non-diabetic patients. b The target patients of the analysis were only the diabetic patients. Asterisk indicates the number of patients who suffered dementia. Dagger indicates ORs for development of dementia. ADLs activities of daily living, BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, CRP C-reactive protein, OR odds ratio
