Table 4 Association between requirement for assistance with ADL at discharge and each parameter

	OR	95% CI	p value
Age, years	1.07	1.03–1.11	0.001
Sex, male, n	0.22	0.06–0.75	0.016
Energy intake^a on admission, kcal/kg/day	0.93	0.87–0.99	0.022
Serum albumin on admission, g/dL	1.32	0.57–3.04	0.516
C-reactive protein on admission^b, mg/dL	1.06	0.94–1.20	0.326

The objective variable was requirement for assistance with ADL at discharge, and the explanatory variables were age, sex, energy intake on admission, serum albumin on admission, and C-reactive protein on admission
ADL: activities of daily living, CI: confidence interval
^aEnergy intake includes diet, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition
^bFor missing values of C-reactive protein on admission, the values before hemodialysis on the day after admission were used
