Table 2 Multivariable logistic regression analysis of the factors correlated to arterial stiffness among 148 peritoneal dialysis patients.

Variables	Odds ratio	95% confidence interval	P value
Lipoprotein(a), 1 mg/L	1.007	1.003–1.011	<0.001^*
Age, 1 year	1.034	0.992–1.078	0.114
Diabetes, present	2.064	0.663–6.421	0.211
Systolic blood pressure, 1 mmHg	1.019	0.995–1.043	0.115
Waist circumference, 1 cm	1.039	0.992–1.088	0.106
Glucose, 1 mg/dL	1.007	0.995–1.018	0.257
Weekly Kt/V	0.391	0.136–1.121	0.080
Analysis data was done using the multivariate logistic regression analysis (adopted factors: age, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, fasting glucose, Weekly Kt/V, and lipoprotein(a)). Weekly Kt/V – weekly fractional clearance index for urea. ^*
