Abstract
- Background In this study, we investigated the association of time-varying serum albumin levels with mortality over a 5-year period in one cohort of patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. Methods The participants in this study enrolled 302 patients who underwent long-term PD at a single PD center in Taiwan. We reviewed medical records from 2011 to 2015 retrospectively. Time-averaged albumin level and serum albumin reach rate (defined as the percentage of serum albumin measurements that reached ≥3.5 g/dL) were applied as the predictor variables in the first 2 years (2011–2012). All-cause mortality was used as the outcome variable in the subsequent 3 years (2013–2015). Hazard function of all-cause mortality in the study participants was examined by using Cox proportional hazard regression models . Results Patients with different albumin reach rates (75–
