Body Composition Changes Following Dialysis Initiation and Cardiovascular and Mortality Outcomes in CRIC (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort): A Bioimpedance Analysis Substudy.

In the fully adjusted model, greater changes in both vector length and phase angle between post– and pre–dialysis initiation were associated with higher risk for HF, stroke, MI, or all-cause mortality ( Table 4 ); however, these assocations did not reach statistical significance: hazard ratios, 1.02; 95% CI, (0.91-1.14) per 1-SD increment in change for vector length and 1.11 (95% CI, 0.88-1.41) per 1-SD increment in change for phase angle.
