Apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio and mortality among incident peritoneal dialysis patients
Lipids in Health and Disease Jun 02, 2018
Zhan X, et al. - Researchers explored the link between the ratio of apolipoprotein B (apo B) / apolipoprotein A1 (apo A1) with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. For the purpose of this investigation, eight hundred and sixty incident PD patients were recruited from November 1, 2005, to February 28, 2017, and followed until May 31, 2017. All-cause mortality and cardiovascular events were the outcomes. Using multivariable-adjusted Cox models, relationships between the apo B/apo A1 ratio with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events were evaluated. In PD patients, an increased apo B/apo A1 ratio was independently associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events.
