Kaplan–Meier plots for composites of secondary outcomes-free survival between the lower two and the highest mtDNA copy number tertile groups. Composites of secondary outcomes included cardiovascular events, peritoneal dialysis failure, and incident malignancies. Lowest, middle, and highest mtDNA copy number groups are expressed as group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. (B) Kaplan–Meier plots for peritoneal dialysis failure-free survival between the lower two and the highest mtDNA copy number tertile group. Lowest, middle, and highest mtDNA copy number groups are expressed as group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. (C) Kaplan–Meier plots comparing incident malignancy-free survival between the lower two and the highest mtDNA copy number tertile groups. Lowest, middle, and highest mtDNA copy number groups are expressed as group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. mtDNA = mitochondrial DNA.
