Table 2. Factors predicting mortality at 5 years after starting RRT using multivariate Cox’s proportional hazard model.

	Hazard ratio	95% CI		p-value
		Lower	Upper
Deprivation score	1.00	0.99	1.00	0.78
Age at RRT start (per year older)	1.02	1.02	1.03	< 0.001
Black ethnicity	0.51	0.40	0.64	< 0.001
Diabetic cause of ESRD	1.63	1.07	2.50	0.02
Female gender	1.06	0.88	1.28	0.48
Never transplanted	7.17	4.29	11.9	< 0.001

ESRD = end-stage renal disease; RRT = renal replacement therapy.
