aNote that follow-up for the ≥1 year on PD cohort began on day 365 of dialysis whereas in the other analyses follow-up began on day 90 of dialysis. Thus, patients in the ≥1 year on PD cohort were followed on average until day 690 of dialysis whereas patients in the unadjusted ITT analysis of the full cohort were followed on average until day 436 of dialysis
