Albumin to Total Cholesterol Ratio and Mortality in Peritoneal Dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Serum albumin and total cholesterol are associated with mortality. In clinical practice, evaluating the association of combining album and total cholesterol with mortality may be more reasonable. Thus, we examined the association between serum albumin to total cholesterol ratio and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 3447 incident continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients from five PD centers in China from 1 January 2005 and 31 May 2020. The association between albumin to total cholesterol ratio and mortality was evaluated.

Results

With a median follow-up of 39.3 months, 762 (22.1%) all-cause deaths occurred, including 382 (11.1%) cardiovascular deaths. As compared with a serum
