Baseline Facility Characteristics and Patient HHD Discontinuation By Facility Factors

Covariate	Baseline facility characteristics^* (N = 323)	Univariate analysis, by patient (n = 2055)
Covariate	Baseline facility characteristics^* (N = 323)	HR (95% CI)	P
Years Medicare Certified	12.0 ± 9.9	1.00 (0.99, 1.01)	0.5
No. of HHD patients	3.9 ± 7.1	1.00 (0.99, 1.01)	0.9
Total no. of patients in facility: home + in-center	84.4 ± 60.8	1.00 (0.99, 1.00)	0.5
Proportion of HHD patients within total facility patients	8.6% ± 19.4%	0.74 (0.53, 1.25)	0.3
Total home dialysis patients: HHD + PD	16.3 ± 18.7	1.00 (0.99, 1.00)	0.6
Proportion of HHD patients within total home dialysis patients	35.9% ± 35.7%	0.84 (0.66, 1.08)	0.2
No. of in-center dialysis stations	18.7 ± 9.9	1.00 (0.99, 1.01)	0.4

Note: HRs are given per 1-unit increase in covariate, eg, 1-greater year of Medicare certification.

Values are given as mean ± standard deviation

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HHD, home hemodialysis; HR, hazard ratio; PD, peritoneal dialysis
