    Adjusted relative risks of death due to cardiovascular and infection-related causes associated with nutritional indicators. BMI, body mass index; nPCR, protein catabolic rate; RR, relative risk. Relative risks were adjusted for age, sex, race, vintage, 14 summary comorbidities, neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio and dialysis by catheter. ∗p < 0.01.
