In addition, the patterns used in the graphs in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6 have been altered to help clearly distinguish between the different columns. The corrected versions of the Figures are given below:

FIGURE 3.

Ethnic group by age group in incident UK young adult RRT patients between 1999 and 2008. Percentages are shown for each group. P < 0.05, chi-square test.

FIGURE 4.

PRD groups by age group in incident young adult RRT patients between 1999 and 2008. Percentages are shown for each group. P < 0.0001, chi-square test. Percentages are shown for each group. PRD is grouped using the 2012 ERA-EDTA coding [12]; ‘Tubulointerstitial disease’ includes structural renal disorders. Subgroup data are available in Supplementary Table S2.

FIGURE 5.

Start modality by age group in incident young adult RRT patients between 1999 and 2008. Percentages are shown for each group. Some paediatric patients were known to have received dialysis at RRT start but the type was unknown.

FIGURE 6.

Overall modality proportions in the first 5 years of RRT in surviving UK incident young adults. Percentages are shown for each group. Some paediatric patients were known to have received dialysis at RRT start but the type was unknown.
