Table 5 Cox proportional hazard model for all-cause mortality of PCS (< 31.8 versus > = 31.8) in 338 incident dialysis patients (A) and PCS (< 33.0 versus > = 33.0) in prevalent dialysis patients (B). Data are shown as 1-SD increase of PCS. Data are expressed as hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI)
