Results

In the crude model, mortality risk decreased progressively with higher TIBC quintiles in patients with hypoalbuminemia or elevated CRP (trend P = 0.003 and P < 0.0001), but not in those with preserved albumin or low CRP. However, spline analysis indicated increased mortality above 300 ug/dL of TIBC, with similar associations for cardiovascular and thrombotic events, but only in the presence of hypoalbuminemia or inflammation.

Baseline Characteristics

A total of 8,552 patients participated in J-DOPPS phases 4-7. After excluding those who were missing TIBC at baseline and those with no effective follow-up observations, 5,604 patients were included in the statistical analyses.
Baseline characteristics of the subjects for analysis and those stratified by TIBC quintile subgroups are summarized in Table 1. When considering SMD > 0.2 as a guideline, the group with lower TIBC tended to have older age, lower BMI, more cardiovascular disease, lower hemoglobin, lower serum albumin, lower serum phosphorus, and higher CRP. Regarding markers related to iron metabolism, they had high transferrin saturation and high serum ferritin. Among anemia-related drug prescriptions, the proportion of ESA prescriptions was high.

Participant flow

The Japan Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (J-DOPPS) is a prospective cohort study conducted in Japan as part of the international Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS). The study population consisted of adult hemodialysis outpatients randomly selected from representative samples drawn from hemodialysis facilities in Japan. For the present analysis, we used data from J-DOPPS Phases 4, 5, 6, and 7 databases (2009 to 2012, 2012 to 2015, 2015 to 2018, and 2018 to 2021, respectively).

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes were cardiovascular events and thrombotic events.
For secondary outcomes, a cardiovascular event was defined as the first occurrence after baseline of death or hospitalization due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD as a cause of death or hospitalization included: acute myocardial infarction (AMI); pericarditis including cardiac tamponade; ischemic heart disease (excluding AMI); cardiomyopathy; arrhythmia; sudden cardiac arrest; valvular heart disease; pulmonary edema due to fluid retention; congestive heart failure; hemorrhagic stroke; ischemic stroke; transient ischemic attack; coronary angioplasty; and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
A thrombotic event was defined as the first occurrence after baseline of death or hospitalization due to thrombotic disease. Thrombotic diseases included: AMI; ischemic heart disease (excluding AMI); pulmonary embolism; ischemic stroke; mesenteric infarction/intestinal ischemia; angina pectoris; transient ischemic attack; intermittent claudication/rest pain; limb ulcers; gangrene; deep vein thrombosis; coronary angioplasty; CABG; peripheral artery bypass surgery; limb amputation; and excision of gangrenous tissue.
