Table 6 Cox proportional hazard model for all-cause mortality of MCS (< 35.7 versus > = 35.7) in 338 incident dialysis patients (A) and MCS (< 46.9 versus > = 46.9) in prevalent dialysis patients (B). Data are shown as 1-SD increase of MCS. Data are expressed as hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI)
