Figure 2. Standardized differences in baseline characteristics (Group 1 is the reference). Primary sample is represented by orange dots; internal validation sample by blue dots.

Figure 2.

*Blue asterisks highlight that standardized differences are not available for dialysis and ultrafiltration for the internal validation sample because there were no patients with these treatments in the Group 1 in the internal validation sample.

Notes: Variables are ordered by standardized mean difference in the primary cohort. Group 4 vs 1 validation group age difference (represented by an arrow) was beyond the left border, with standardized difference −1.33. In the validation group, no one in group 1 received dialysis or ultrafiltration, so validation group estimates are not available.
