Abstract: Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, an indicator of atherogenic dyslipidemia, is a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in the general population and has been correlated with atherosclerotic events. Whether the TG/HDL-C ratio can predict CV outcomes and survival in dialysis patients is unknown. We performed this prospective, observational cohort study and enrolled 602 dialysis patients (539 hemodialysis and 63 peritoneal dialysis) from a single center in Taiwan followed up for a median of 3.9 years. The outcomeswere the occurrence ofCVevents, CVdeath, and all-cause mortality during follow-up. The association of baseline TG/ HDL-C ra which we nutritional Overa died, ofwh reached th levels (qui ratio [HR] (adjusted H HR 2.2, 9
