HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CHD, coronary heart disease; ESRD, end-stage renal disease; USRDS, US Renal Data System

a

ESRD = identified from USRDS registry (treated kidney failure)

b

Kidney failure = identified from kidney failure-related International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM)/ICD-10-CM code from hospitalization or death or USRDS registry (treated or untreated kidney failure)

c

Adjusted HRs from regression model including all characteristics listed in table.

d

P for test of difference in HR for kidney failure vs. HR for ESRD for the respective characteristic using seemingly unrelated regression
