HR for the initiation of dialysis compared with the combination of DM (−) and SBP ≤119 mm Hg/DM (+) and SBP ≤119 mm Hg as a reference group. Baseline variables as predictors for dialysis adjusted by age, sex, smoking, medication for hypertension, BMI, LDL-C and HDL-C.
**Values in bold are statistical significance (P <0.05).
**
DM, diabetes mellitus; SBP, systolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
