Table 3.
AHR for all-cause death by facility prevalence of PNVa
| Facility Prevalence of PNV | AHRb | 95% CI | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per 20% more patients having 2 to 4 PNVs | 0.97 | 0.88 to 1.08 | 0.620 |
| Per 20% more patients having ≥5 PNVs | 0.91 | 0.83 to 0.99 | 0.048 |
A visit to a nephrologist at least one month before the initiation of HD was regarded as PNV. Restricted to facilities that had at least five patients with PNV information (359 facilities, n = 3774). AHR, adjusted hazard ratio
Compared with having one or no PNVs.
