Adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for all–cause death with baseline body mass index (A) and serum creatinine (B) categories across 3 different races in the matched cohort (n = 10,000 in each race)^†

^†Patients with BMI >25.0 kg/m² and serum creatinine level >12.0 mg/dL in each race were reference groups. The model was adjusted for case–mix and nutrition covariates including age, gender, diabetes mellitus, dialysis vintage, single–pool Kt/V, hemoglobin, serum albumin and normalized protein nitrogen appearance. Propensity score which was the probability of having the same characteristics as Korean HD patient was calculated by logistic regression including all variables in the survival analysis. The matched cohort was created by 1:1 matching based on propensity score.
