HD hemodialysis, PD peritoneal dialysis, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, HR hazard ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence intervals.

Model-1 was adjusted for age and gender.

Model-2 was adjusted as Model-1 + heart failure and diabetes.

Model-3 was adjusted as Model-1 + mobility.

Model-4 was adjusted as Model-1 + dialysis modality and baseline eGFR.

Model-5 was adjusted for all variables in previous models.

NS Not Significant (with p > 0.1).
