Kaplan-Meier curves for cardiovascular event, cardiac-event and all-cause mortality of hemodialysis patients with low or high mannose-binding lectin plasma levels. Cumulative event-free survival for cardiovascular events (a), cardiac-events (b), all-cause mortality (c) and correct mortality (d) among hemodialysis patient (HD) with low and high mannose-binding lectin (MBL) levels. Corrected mortality included cardiovascular, infectious and unknown mortality, while mortality for other reasons and discontinuation of dialysis therapy were excluded, Log-rank test was used to compare the incidence of cardiovascular events, cardiac-events and all-cause mortality between the groups
