Logistic regression analysis evaluating the predictors of receiving dialysis modality according to patient preferred choice (n=159) versus not receiving preferred dialysis modality according to patient choice (n=18) following completion of UPS-EP

Variables	Odds ratio (95% CI)	P-value
Age, ≥67 years	0.98 (0.32–2.97)	0.95
Gender, male versus female	0.96 (0.28–3.24)	0.95
Diabetes, presence versus absence	0.84 (0.28–2.51)	0.76
Myocardial infarction	0.15 (0.05–0.48)	0.001
Initial dialysis modality, PD versus HD	3.66 (0.97–13.88)	0.06

Notes: Pseudo-r²=0.07. Significant values are marked in bold (P<0.05).

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; EP, educational program; HD, hemodialysis; PD, peritoneal dialysis; UPS, unplanned dialysis start.
