The association between the atherogenic index of plasma and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) has been reported as a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in the overall population. However, the lipid profile changes in individuals with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) may affect the prognostic utility of AIP for all-cause mortality. The connection between them remains unclear.

Methods

This study included patients receiving PD at five hospitals in China from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2019, with follow-up until June 30, 2020. The primary exposure variable in this investigation was the logarithm of the triglycerides (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, which was used to compute the AIP, and the outcome variable was all-cause mortality.
