Nutritional factors and risks of all-cause death.
Histogram of each nutritional factor and the aHR of all-cause death are shown in the upper and lower panels, respectively. A Serum albumin level. B Serum total cholesterol level. C Serum creatinine level. D BMI. E nPCR. Abbreviations: aHR, hazard ratio adjusted for baseline characteristics; albumin, serum albumin level; total cholesterol, serum cholesterol level; creatinine, serum creatinine level; BMI, body mass index; nPCR, normalized protein catabolic rate.

Association between risk groups and mortality.
A Development dataset. B Validation dataset. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the low-risk group had the highest survival probability in the both datasets. Abbreviations: Low, low-risk group; Medium, medium-risk group; High, high-risk group.
