Table 3.

Hazard ratios for cause-specific mortality by height category in children at time of ESRD onset

Adjusted Cox Model^a Cause-Specific Mortality (n=13,218)	Short Stature (n=3418)		Tall Stature (n=370)
Adjusted Cox Model^a Cause-Specific Mortality (n=13,218)	Hazard Ratio^b (95% CI)	P Value	Hazard Ratio^b (95% CI)	P Value
Cardiac death	1.52 (1.23 to 1.88)	<0.001	1.19 (0.73 to 1.95)	0.48
Infection-related death	1.72 (1.29 to 2.29)	<0.001	1.25 (0.58 to 2.69)	0.57
Malignancy-related death	0.79 (0.44 to 1.44)	0.44	2.59 (1.05 to 6.38)	0.04

95% CI, 95% confidence interval.

All models were adjusted for age (categorical variable), sex, race, cause of ESRD, Medicaid status, median neighborhood income, calendar year of ESRD onset, and transplant as a time-dependent covariate.

Normal height is reference category with short stature defined as <3rd percentile and tall stature defined as >97th percentile using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention age-and sex-standardized height z-scores.
