Crude and multivariable generalized linear regression model for dialysis facility–level and ESRD Network–level factors associated with a higher standardized transplant ratio

Dialysis facility or network–level factors	Crude model	Multivariable-adjusted model1	Multivariable p-value
	Rate ratio of STRs in a dialysis facility over 4 years (95% CI)
Dialysis facility–level factors associated with a higher STR
% Patients who are employed, per 10% increase	1.067 (1.060–1.076)	1.042 (1.034–1.051)	<0.0001
% ESA use prior to ESRD, per 10% increase	1.081 (1.071–1.090)	1.039 (1.021–1.057)	<0.0001
% Patients on peritoneal dialysis, per 10% increase	1.068 (1.057–1.079)	1.039 (1.022–1.057)	<0.0001
Number of staff, per 10 staff change	1.037 (1.015–1.059)	1.031 (1.003–1.060)	0.033
% Patients with AVF, per 10% increase	1.043 (1.033–1.054)	1.025 (1.012–1.037)	<0.0001
ESRD Network–level factors associated with a higher STR
Transplant centers per 10 000 ESRD patients	1.074 (1.061–1.087)	1.053 (1.019–1.091)	0.0023

AVF, arteriovenous fistula; CI, confidence interval; ESA, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents; ESRD, end-stage renal disease; STR, standardized transplant ratio.

¹Multivariable model was adjusted for all covariates shown in Table 4 as well as organ procurement organization region from which the dialysis facility resided. Markov Chain Monte Carlo multiple imputation used for missing covariate data (<2% of data).
