Association Between Cystatin C and 1-Year Readmission Risk in Heart Failure Patients with or without Chronic Kidney Disease

Global Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases | Vol 5, Issue 1

Figure 1

Non-linear association of serum CysC with 1-year readmission risk. Restricted cubic spline plots depict the HR and 95% CI (shaded area) for readmission. (A) In HF patients without CKD, a significant non-linear association was observed (<i>p</i> for non-linearity = 0.011). (B) In HF patients with CKD, the relationship also demonstrated non-linearity (<i>p</i> for non-linearity = 0.014).
