Association of inadequate energy intake on admission with activities of daily living at discharge in patients undergoing unplanned hemodialysis initiation: a retrospective case-series study

Table 5 Association between requirement for assistance with ADL at discharge and each parameter

	OR	95% CI	p value
Age, years	1.06	1.02–1.10	0.003
Sex, male, n	0.19	0.05–0.73	0.016
Energy intake^a on admission, kcal/kg/day	0.94	0.88–1.00	0.049
Serum albumin at discharge, g/dL	0.42	0.14–1.23	0.115
C-reactive protein at discharge^b, mg/dL	3.00	0.79–11.43	0.108

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