Nonlinear competing-risk for initiation of dialysis or preemptive transplantation according to (a) eGFR, (b) eGFR slope, (c) age, (d) BMI SDS, (e) systolic blood pressure SDS, (f) hemoglobin, (g) serum bicarbonate. y-axis shows the log (HR). The lines represent the mean effects (dark blue: dialysis; turquoise: preemptive transplantation) and shaded areas the respective 95% confidence intervals

BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HR, hazard ratio; SDS, SD score; Tx, transplantation.
