^aAdjustment not performed since 24-hour SBP used as risk predictor. Adjustment for

^bage, sex, diabetes mellitus and serum albumin (model A);

^cmodel A plus UFV and log-transformed dialysis vintage (model B);

^dmodel B plus 24-hour SBP (model C).

^eModel C not calculated since proportional assumption violated for 24-hour SBP and PP (see Hametner and Wassertheurer [14]).
